I had this rail built during the onset of the winter when I was launching my Old Man’s Bedlam Farm Safety program.

I never imagined the guardrail, which now decorates the side of the house, could also be beautiful.

Maria painted it and planted flowers all around it, and the flowers and morning glories are beginning to attach themselves to the railings and seem not only safe for me but beautiful.

Another small thing, which turns out to be a big thing.

We are always working on our farmhouse, fixing it up in small ways. But it gets more and more beautiful all the time
