Here's an idyllic scene in County Clare Ireland that my dear friend captured on her vacation there a few years ago. This old stone fence looks like it could stand some mending--especially if the cows decide to be a bit more energetic.
Meanwhile, you may have seen this highly symbolic photo recently. Queen Elizabeth II in Belfast shaking hands with a former Northern Ireland IRA commander, now deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness. Never too late to try to mend fences.
And for more Friday Fences-check out Life According to Jan and Jer for the full list of players.
Mending fences is important in life---and I'm sure that we all have fences which need to be mended!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did read about Queen Elizabeth shaking hands with Martin McGuinness... That is a huge MEND!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThe Queen wore green - I'll bet that wasn't accidentally. :)
Very clever! I have often holidayed in Ireland, it is a beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful statement Faye. Yes mending fences is not too late. And for a light note I like the color of the Queen's dress very pretty! ^_^ Thanks for the visit.
