It rained on our 4th anniversary

It rained on our 4th anniversary. It was if the gods of chain link enclosures were crying tears of joy. We were brought together four months ago today, dropped lovingly on my front doorstep. Our relationship has grown since that first day. I say hello to my fence every morning, a knowing wink that is shared by only us. I wave goodbye every evening, assured that my fencing will be there to greet me the next morning. Thousands of people pass by every day, seemingly not noticing the beauty that is my temporary fence enclosing more temporary fencing. The water pools around it, not congregating under the amassed metal threatening to cause it rust. The gods looking after their faithful follower. In a world gone wild, my fence has become a steadying calmness.

I'm crying. I know you can see me when I come here. Thank you for that one!!! Too funny. I tried to post but didn't. My post was actually very funny, but I deleted. Why? I don't know. So here sweetie, here it is: Cece and I were talking on the phone this afternoon as she was driving home from the office (yes they can still talk on the cell while driving in Arkansas (INSANE!!!!) and she said "OH MY GOD, THERE'S A GUY DRIVING WITH A SCREW DRIVER IN HIS TIRE." She was on the freeway and I asked if she could alert him! She said "No, I've already past him." I said, "Wow, that must have been one angry bitch!!!" So as you can see, what was found in your tire was just peanuts! You're a lucky, lucky man! Why I deleted, I have no idea because it was just classic Wild Onion! I think I didn't want to take anything away from your comment page! Okay, so did I take anything away from this one?!

Shit, I forgot my point after all that. I have to go back and reread. Hold on.

Oh, Okay. I just want to alert you that aluminum doesn't rust. You know I know metal! Aluminum degrades over time, but doesn't rust. That stuff could stay out ther for decades!!!! Seriously.

Hi Bob!

Bob, you have made me laugh once again. "The beauty that is my temporary fence enclosing more temporary fencing." Well, I just had to quote you because it's so funny it had to be repeated.

Happy anniversary!

Pretty funny post about your temporary fencingaround more of the same! Also, Suzanne is right Aluminum won't really rust so just let it rain, rain, rain!
