Still alive at five

People walk by the fence, unaware of the significance of the day. Today is the fifth anniversary of the arrival of the fence. My temporary fencing secured by temporary fencing. Our fifth anniversary was marked by a bright sunny day... chilly in the morning but warming to a brilliant spring afternoon.

I never would have imagined that we would be together so long. When someone drops temporary fencing into your life, you don't expect it to last long. Temporary fencing is a fleeting relationship where it swoops in, changes your life for a while, and vanishes never to be seen again. No real commitment, just some fun and aggravation only to end when you are both finished using each other. You move onto more permanent fencing or none at all, while the temporary fencing finds someone new and enters their life.

But not in this case. My temporary fencing and I are still together, five months into what could be a long term relationship. Through good times and bad, through wind and rain, through sunshine and cold, we've stuck together. Still going strong after all this time. Happy fifth anniversary temporary fencing securing temporary fencing.
