Dear Farmer builds the fence

Seems pretty mundane that Dear Farmer would build a fence, however the fence he built this weekend served only one purpose...to make his wife happy.  Wow!  What a guy!
The containment fence he had built when we moved to the farm runs the length of the property.  It is wood posts(non-treated), about six inch round, and has four oak boards that hang on it.  It took a full spring, summer and fall to dig each post in and hang the boards running the twenty acres to the south of the drive.  There was a 200 ft. section in front of the house that posts were dug, but never had boards hung...why do it right away?  Reasons not to were legitimate: it was winter and too cold...there weren't any animals grazing in the yard...it's really just about looks...and about a thousand other things had to be done before spring.  That reasoning had been used for five years.  This year the Wife kindly asked Dear Farmer if there wasn't some way he could eeek out time on a "slow" day to finish the fence in front of the house.  Her reasons were legitimate: it would look nice to have boards on the naked posts in front of the house...it would contain the children nicely...it's not cold outside...it's really about looks...and she'd like to have it done.
Dear Farmer heard his Wife, and obliged. He was so excited(not really) to pull out the tools and spend a day finding them from other people who were borrowing them from all over the county.  Then he asked(drafted) the children to help him.  They were excited(over-the-moon-thrilled!!!) to be working with Dear Farmer on the fence in front of the house!  It took a total of five hours...children held boards, Dear Farmer screwed them in, children handed screws, got water, served Dear Farmer iced tea, and at the end of the day...the fence was beautifully finished and the Wife gave Dear Farmer a kiss.  Wow!  What a guy!
