Let the Walls Come down................

I remember right before Katrina,
A massive 8 foot fence was put around the peramiter of my yard.
As I sat on the patio looking out into the back yard,
For a moment I felt like a human being trapped in a human sized cage.

Strange maybe, but it's what I felt. I could not see what was outside of the fence, nor could anyone see me inside of the fence. However, I could see the fingers of the trees in the far off gliding back and forth as if to say "I'm here" "I'm here".

This after noon.....over a year later.....the fence battered and torn from the hurricane, still gives us the privacy I need.

We have our house for sale.....and Lord knows I HATE cleaning this thing.....But I sure do love to look at it. When I was sitting out back......I noticed that the backyard was such an asset to this home. Then I came to realize how much I would miss that backyard.....and this house.
