The thought of a fence made Emily giggle. She felt as though she could fly. She skipped around her house, humming a happy tune.

She immediately started planning. She wanted to plant a climbing vine, a beautiful green curtain to be the backdrop of her new paradise. She spent the entire day in her yard, making plans, drawing sketches, and feeling totally at ease.

She felt a deep sense of contentment, a feeling that everything was going to be alright. The world had become a more inviting place.
