A Gate Post

Gates in

Gates out

Harvest gates,

Dog gates,

Hen gates,

Child containment gates

(who are we kidding?)

Gates used rarely,

locked and bolted,

Busy gates

One of my favourite gates is the one near the bird bath (second collage)

 we use it after the barley has been harvested

when

 the enormous barley field becomes our playground

as

Harry uses his metal detector, hoping for treasure

while I walk the dog

and

play ball with him.

The holiday air lasts

until

 Farmer T the younger comes along

 with the plough.

Then the gate gets locked for another year.
