I needed pictures for a project I wanted to do. Bill and I spent several days driving around the area to take snapshots of horses, cows and streams. My biggest wish was to find a split railed fence. Well, there is something said for getting lost. On an unfamilar country road, there it was, my wish come true. The owner allowed me to take all the pictures I wanted and told  me the background of this dying art. A local man, eighty-three years young, splits these rails by hand. After talking several minutes about his fence and log cabin, he gave us directions to a main highway. Even the simplest wishes can come true.
