(An old fence on the left of the barn which has also seen better day. Still beautiful though.)
Last weekend, feeling a bit of cabin fever, we thought it would be safe to take a ride in the countryside. We wanted to find a nice, quiet area for a walk and so, with a full tank of gas, we set out.
(An old farm with fences out front again. Hard to see those fences as they seem camouflaged against the grass.)
Much to our surprise there was a lot of traffic on the roads, and when we drove to all our usual places, the parking lots were packed and people were heading for the trails. We didn't feel comfortable being around all those people. There wasn't 6 feet between them to spare, so we drove by and went on our way.
(Another farm with a silo painted like an ear of corn. And there are the fences again.)
Not once did we get out of the car, and the only time I opened a window was to take these photos. Our speed was generally between 40 to 55 miles per hour on open roads, much less of course going through towns, and along narrower roads.
(Other rural scenes as we drove by.)
It was good to get out but I don't think we will be doing that any more.
(Another fence in front of the cemetery. We were in Manassas by this time.)
(The rest of the photos were also taken as we were driving through Manassas.)
(Approaching the traffic light I noticed the mural on the left.)
(Here's a closer look.)
(The historical old town area is very nice.)
(You can read about Manassas at this link.)
(I have often thought I would like to look around Iron Horse Antiques. One of the comments I read from a happy customer, was that it is the best furniture store in the Northern Virginia area and it is one of the top 10. Their furniture is made out of quality solid wood at a great price with professional customer service. Now that is quite a glowing recommendation.
Apparently they have obtained solid oak European furniture from military people who have purchased overseas, and there is also Amish furniture of the same excellent quality. The salespeople appear very knowledgeable, knowing all about the fabrics used, whether they were treated, what was in the cushions and much more. If ever any of our furniture finally falls apart, I think I will look here first. Unfortunately I couldn't find a website but it has plenty of good reviews on Yelp.)
These photos I am sharing today for Gosia's Fences Around the World, were taken on our Sunday drive, and I was happy to see several fences, so win-win!
Thank you for hosting Gosia.

Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy your day and stay safe and happy.
