Today I realized that I wanted there to be a gate on our back fence. That particular area of fence borders on a really nice grove of Live Oak trees – sometimes I want to just step outside into them, directly into the cool, cool shade. Right now, however, we have to go out the OTHER side of the yard, down the road a ways and around and back, and that’s just way too much sun when you just want the shade. Interestingly, a part of the fence is actually made from nailing a gate section to the rest of the fence, so we’re looking into adding a few hinges and freeing ourselves to wander at will! *grin*
