The Magic of Memory in the Mist

When she was three years old, my beloved granddaughter, Izzie, embarked on a culinary mission showcasing her independent spirit. Raised amidst the sprawling expanse of a farm, she was no stranger to the great outdoors, often found frolicking on the hillside or tending to the garden for hours on end.

A Culinary Adventure

On this particular evening, her father entrusted her with the task of harvesting chives for their soup. Armed with a basket and a pair of snips, she ventured outside, a tiny figure against the backdrop of the farmstead.

From the kitchen window, Daniel observed as thick clouds rolled in, obscuring his view of the surroundings entirely. Anxiety crept in as minutes ticked by with no sign of the little explorer.

Then, like a ray of sunshine piercing through the overcast sky, the door swung open, and there stood Izzie, her basket brimming with freshly cut chives. Astonished, Daniel called out to her, questioning how she managed to locate the chives amidst the dense fog. Izzie simply replied with a gleam of innocence, "Oh, I couldn’t see them, Daddy, but I knew where they were."

The Confidence of Farm Life

Witnessing the unfettered growth of children amidst the freedom of farm life is a marvel to behold. There's a palpable sense of confidence and self-assurance in these young souls, a quality often scarce in the modern child.

Izzie and her brother have transformed their outdoor domain into a bustling kitchen where they concoct imaginative dishes with boundless creativity.

Imaginary Feasts and Adventures

Last spring, as I lent a hand, Izzie declared the imminent arrival of a thousand guests to her imaginary party, delegating tasks with the finesse of a seasoned host. She entrusted me with gathering greens for the salad, ranging from grass to clover, while her brother assumed the role of milkman, dutifully ferrying supplies in a wagon.

She's not one to shy away from taking charge, orchestrating the proceedings with a flair that belies her tender age.

The Journey Ahead

As they continue to blossom and mature, it's a joy to speculate on the evolution of their dynamic. Will the roles reverse? Will their shared adventures take on new dimensions? Only time will tell, but one thing is sure—the journey promises to be as enchanting as unpredictable.

Speaking of journeys, you may not want your little ones to “journey” (read: “wander”) outside the safe zone of your house yard. To upgrade your fence, start here.

Purr-fect Addition to Your Yard: The Catio Craze!

Today, we're not just talking about fences but diving into the delightful world of "Catios"!

What's a Catio?

It's not a new exotic cat breed (although that would be cool, but how can you improve on a Maine Coon Cat?). A Catio is a cat patio or an outdoor cat enclosure, and it's the ultimate way to provide your feline friend with a slice of outdoor paradise while keeping them safe and sound.

We may be experts in fencing, but I bet you have your own stories to tell about protecting your beloved friends that our customers would love to hear.

Why Consider a Catio?

Here are a few "pawsome" reasons why you might want to consider adding a Catio to your home:

• Happy Cats, Happy Life: Cats are natural explorers and love to soak up the sun. With a Catio, your kitty can enjoy the great outdoors without the risks of traffic or wandering off.
• Birdwatching Bonanza: Cats are fascinated by birds, squirrels, and other critters. A Catio provides a front-row seat to endless entertainment for your furry friend. And it protects those gorgeous cardinals and bluebirds from deadly claws. Binoculars optional!
• Safe from Predators: Protect your beloved pets from predators like coyotes or hawks. A well-built Catio ensures your cat stays out of harm's way.
• No More Escape Artists: Does your cat have a knack for slipping out the door? A Catio eliminates the risk of escape, keeping your kitty safely within the confines of your yard.
• Peaceful Coexistence: If you have both cats and less-than-cat-friendly dogs, a Catio can be a tranquil space for your cats to relax without any canine interference.
• Customized for Your Cat’s Personality: Catios come in all shapes and sizes, so you can create a space that suits your cat's unique preferences. The possibilities are endless, whether it's a multi-level playground or a quiet oasis.
• Property Value Booster: Adding a Catio can also increase the value of your home. Potential buyers with cats will appreciate this feline-friendly feature! I know, just ask my daughter-in-law.

Create Your Catio Masterpiece

So, there you have it, dear friends—Catios are practical and a lot of fun for your furry family members! Don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in learning more or need help with the installation. We'd be thrilled to help you create a catio masterpiece.

Start here

Wishing you and your whiskered companions a fantastic day filled with purrs, tail wags, and a bit of catio planning!

Have you ever been to Malibu? Well, if you have, I bet you didn’t go to find photo ops with fences!

A Day of Adventure

Last spring, I drove around Malibu with a photographer friend and her assistant in search of fences similar to the ones we sell. It was a beautiful day with clear skies and a gentle breeze, making it the perfect day for an adventure. The views were stunning as we drove along the scenic coastline—no wonder the Hollywood elite buy property here.

After some searching, we finally came across a fence that closely resembled the high-quality fencing we provide. I couldn't contain my excitement and decided to jump out of the car to have my picture taken with it. We then turned down around the beach to look for sand erosion fencing. As my friend drove, I peered from side to side, looking for the fence. Ahoy! There it was—sand erosion fencing just like we sell. Woohoo!

A Memorable Moment

Now for the exciting part. The photographer wanted me to change outfits! There was little room to change in her car because of the camera equipment, so they held up some of the light reflector diffusers, and I changed in the beach parking lot between the car door and the gold reflector. Are you ready for the funny part?

The fence section was only about seven feet long, hardly enough to make it work in a picture. But my brilliant photographer got some great shots! My friends and I had such a good laugh about our adventure, and it turned into a memorable moment that I will cherish.

A Perfect Ending

To end the day, we decided to treat ourselves to delicious seafood at a local fish joint. They served the most fabulous Pacific red snapper I've ever tasted, and their French fries were simply the best. It was the perfect way to end our day of exploration and laughter.

Finding Joy in Our Work

This story reminds me that finding fun and laughter in our work is essential to joy and satisfaction. We have fun providing high-quality fencing solutions; our commitment to excellence is as strong as ever. Like that fence in Malibu Beach, we strive to stand out and offer the best to our customers.

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing us as your trusted fencing provider. We look forward to serving you in the future and creating more memorable moments together.

Please contact me, share your stories, share pictures, and let me know what project you are dreaming about or working on. My team is always here to help.

Chloe the Toulouse Goose: A Heartwarming Tale of Nesting Love

I wanted to share a heartwarming story that unfolded on our farm, a story of love, friendship, and an unusual nesting habit involving Chloe, our gray Toulouse goose, and her unexpected companions—our five diligent goats and Henny Penny, the recovering Golden Comet hen.

A Unique Nesting Spot

It all began one sunny spring morning when I noticed Chloe's peculiar fascination with our goat shed's corner. I couldn't figure out what had drawn her there until I saw a nest-like structure made of straw. It seemed Chloe had chosen the goat shed as her new favorite nesting spot.

You might be wondering why a goose would want to lay her eggs in a goat shed, but Chloe had her reasons, and the goats had theirs. What followed was nothing short of a heartwarming spectacle that amazed us all.

A Protective Circle

Chloe quickly established her routine. Every morning, she would waddle her way into the goat shed, her long neck swaying side to side, and settle into her chosen corner. One morning, we spotted a gorgeous egg in the middle of her nest. The five goats—Isabelle, Roo, Mr. Tumnus, Sherlock, and Monte—seemed to understand her maternal instinct and formed a protective circle around her. It was as if they had taken on the role of guardians for Chloe and her precious egg.

What struck me most was the unwavering commitment of our goats. They watched over Chloe like doting parents, ensuring that she had everything she needed. They occasionally nudged her gently to reassure her that they were there for her. Chloe, in turn, honked her gratitude to her goat companions, forging an extraordinary bond that transcended species.

Unity and Harmony

Weeks turned into months, and Chloe continued to lay one egg in that same corner of the goat shed. And not once, I must emphasize, did an egg break. With their careful movements and cautious steps, the goats seemed to have an innate understanding of the fragility of her egg. They never bumped into Chloe or her nest, displaying an uncanny awareness of her needs.

As the days passed, the scene in the goat shed became a symbol of unity and harmony on our farm. It was a testament to the incredible connections that can form between animals, even those from different species. It served as a reminder that love and compassion know no boundaries and that nature's wonders are boundless.

Lessons from Nature

I wanted to share this story with you as a reminder that love can flourish in the most unexpected places and is not limited to humans alone. With all its mysteries, nature has a way of teaching us the most profound lessons, and Chloe and her goat companions have certainly taught us about the power of friendship and the beauty of diversity.

Once the goslings hatched, we had an entirely new level of protection required, thankfully easily solved at Louis Page.

Thank you for reading about Chloe and her love of laying eggs in the corner of the goat shed. I hope it brought a smile and warmed your heart, just as it has done for all of us here on the farm.

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with love, laughter, and unexpected moments of joy. And if you’d like to share with me your story of an unexpected golden moment, please hit reply and tell me about it.
