Fence on Hill
This is a hill near my house... when I was little, this hill had a bump about a third of the way down the slope. Every time my mom would load the car up with kids to drive us to the pool, in the summertime, she would go down this hill, and when the car would go over that smooth bump and then whoosh on down the hill, it would give us a little "roller coaster" feeling, which we called a "whoopsie!".
In later years they removed the bump in the hill, because kids were making their cars take flight by speeding over the bump... and wrecking their cars, and getting hurt. So, no more "whoopsie"!
I have always thought it was a beautiful spot. The park is on one side, and some farms which never gave way to the encroaching city are on the other side. Thus, the wooden fence.
So, Happy Fenced Friday, everyone!
