and my Little Son plays -
noises abound
legos
and sand
and mosters
all come together -
brought to life.
digging holes for golf.
the beginnings of dandelion wine.
"Mama,"
says little Madd,
"is it a good day for This?"
meaning mud and water and toys and bridges
and wherever The Story takes her.
"It's a perfect day for that, babe."
backyard play.
wearing underwear.
only that.
Cooper's Hawk (our neighborhood hawk)
Sacajawea
pink floyd
bob marley
love and rockets
jimmy buffet
a walk to the store
more mud
bouncing yogis
garden
sun
warm
croquet
...beautiful.
it was of those days -
wonderful in every way.
joyful,
easy,
peaceful...
perfect.
just that.
