Empty Swings

It's always a little sad this time of year.
The flowers are all dead and the leaves have left most
of the trees. The swings out in the front yard are
empty now, and will be until spring. Now the only time
you see them moving is when the wind is really blowing
hard and they bump the tree. The little girls nextdoor
often come over and play on them. I love to hear their
voices, the laughter and the talk...
Ben and I put them up. And then we spent some time
swinging on them. The yard slopes down at a pretty
good angle so that you feel higher than you really are
in the swing, the kids love it.
