We're so happy. We've started our equivalent of the Great Wall of China, albeit a stockade version that is probably not visible form the Moon. I adore fences as I confessed to Bob today. To state the obvious, they do all these amazing things: they cut down on noise and allow you to walk outside wearing terrible, dirty gardening clothing and not have to worry about an immediate critique from the neighbors. You can have coffee at your kitchen table and not feel like you're on display. It helps to keep varmints like deer and coyotes out and varmints like your dog in. The funny thing is that we like the people who live on this side of our house. They're really nice and their kids are great but Bob and I are sometimes in need of space. So we build a fence. We're trying to assure our neighbors that it's not because of them I think tehy understand!
The fence will be another ongoing project. We "inherited" almost 90 feet (of which you see only 32 feet in the photo) and will be adding to it as we can afford to purchase more. Today being a wonderful warm sunny day, we worked at putting up another four sections. We're already reveling in the privacy.
