June 11, 2022July 3, 2022 K. Hartless The First Day of Summer Vacation istock Overhead a puff of perfume a cloudsandalwood vanilla and sweet daydreamsMy son points, “I see a bird.” And I find his talons, grasping.Daughter chimes in, I see a boat.” And I find the hull, cracking.The games we play amidst broken waves,their fingernails grasping needful things.Even on a beautiful day there is scratching.In the shade of pine trees a playground slick as apple slices my red haired children spread a blanket fruitful grins the first day of summer vacation.© 2022 | K.Hartless Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...

Thank you, Marion. I’m sure it will. Today we took the “stead” to the library for some reading candy and then explored the forests near our home. I must say, I am super lucky that I have two sidekicks to adventure with during these months. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
