Over the Green Fence - A Better View


Summer days are filtering out to winter snow and spitting clouds of chilling gray. So what's a fence to do? Give way to mountain peaks of white and filtered blue?

I'd say yes, and then again, I'd say, "Hell ya!" I love the white peaks and filtered blue of a western horizon of rocky mountains and Colorado sunsets. But what about GREEN?

My green fence offers a view winter or summer, because it's colorful, bright, and interesting. I've heard some neighbors wouldn't allow it, but honestly, I don't live in those neighborhoods. So, the reality is, my neighbors do like my fence. Many of them, especially children, comment on my fence and tell me why they like it. Over the GREEN fence is a happier view.

In those microbial minutes that lash out at time and allow the next moment to happen, my bright green fence offers a moment of gladness to enter in. It's gay enough to acknowledge the sound of laughter, brilliant enough to usurp color, and grounded just enough to allow folks to know that there isn't a better fence anywhere in the neighborhood.

Life with my green fence is just brilliant and lovely! Come enjoy it with me.
