Magical Swing

When I was a child...

I longed for a Tree swing..

there is something SO magical about a tree swing

BUT

I had a swing SET

in the far back corner of my suburban yard...

it was metal, with stripes, and I played on it and played on it 

it was VERY fun

but NEXT to it, we had an Apple tree

and I longed for a Sing on THAT

but apple trees are NOT the sort of tree you do that to

so..

I have NEVER had a tree with a swing..

until NOW

Magical?  

YES!

HUGE selling point right?

YEP

The Blessings LOVED this!  

The told all their friends about it!

They would swing on it often,

Like I had dreamed of doing as a child!

They even got ME to swing on it

and IT was grand!

well.. 

after a storm a few weeks back..

and I am certain ..

MUCH wear and tear...

I am sad to share with you

that on of the ropes broke

and my  OUR swing IS no more..

so..

we grieve

&

are on the hunt

for MORE wonderful spots to 

put more wee swings
