We'd Been Doing It Since the First Friends' Giving, Over the Fence

We'd decided that next year we'd make a float for the thanksgiving parade. And all marched together, though we had no idea yet what it would be. We often met there, our elbows propped on the top rail with cups of coffee steaming in the air. When we'd planned new year's day, the christmas lights had been strung through the branches of his ab apple tree,. and they reflected off the snow in the early morning.
