The End of Summer
The boys spent this “last” weekend of summer in the backyard. Amazingly enough, they have built themselves a fort in the back corner of the yard.
My kids are really video game type people despite my encouragement in other directions. This is why I am so amazed that they have undertaken such a project. They trimmed brush around a tree, leveled out the ground some, scrounged boards from around the garage and backyard, and bummed nails from the neighbor. They now have a cozy retreat under the branches of the hedge trees (osage orange trees).
It’s not a lot to look at, but it seems to give them a sense of having a retreat to disappear to. They are out there right now. Want to know what they are doing? Playing video games.
