Secrets of the farm...

Ever wonder how the acres upon acres of white fencing stays so white?  Well, probably not, but I did.  I thought that for sure they'd begin looking run down and dirty eventually.  Truth is... they do, but here at this farm every year they powerwash and repaint the fences.  I have been watching the guys do this over the past week or so as they have made it closer to our house.  It is the most boring, time consuming looking work ever, but the end result is gorgeous!

From a distance, you can't tell how bad the white fences really look... in fact, from a distance, you can't even tell how many fences actually run through this 800 acre farm. 

**Sidenote: Those of you flying into Lexington soon should try to look down from the airplane for an aerial view, I heard it's incredible.  The farm we live on is located right next to Keeneland Race Track.  Keeneland has black fencing and we have the white fencing.  Tons of planes fly over our house every day, so there is a good chance your's will too.

Up close, you can see the paint chipping away.  *This is an iphone picture and not in the best lighting, but you can still tell....

Then, compare the 2 sides.  The left has been freshly painted (you can tell by the grass), the right side has not been... already you can see the cleaner/crisper look to the fences.  It really does make a difference!  Now... if they would just repaint our house...   :)
