 From Mud Puddles to Goat Pens: The Unlikely Role of Fences in Life’s Greatest Adventures

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of enjoying lunch with three incredible families in Massachusetts. Between them, they have a total of twelve lively children, so you can imagine the energy buzzing around!

While we were outside on the deck, I couldn’t help but notice their well-fenced vegetable garden and goat enclosure. But what truly caught my eye was a six-year-old little girl, with the most gorgeous blonde curly hair, completely lost in her own world. She was ankle-deep in a mud puddle, squishing the icy mud between her toes, seemingly unbothered by the drizzle or the cold, damp ground. She was having the time of her life—proof that a little mud can be magical when you’re a child.

The Magic of Safe Spaces

This scene made me think about how essential quality fencing is for families like these. Whether it’s keeping the goats secure, protecting a vegetable garden from adventurous little hands (or paws), or even sectioning off areas to give kids space to explore safely, reliable fencing makes these moments possible.
