It's Swing Time

I took this shot last fall ...



And then I promptly forgot about it until I passed this yard this weekend. There were clothes on the line and the trees were plump and the grass was green and a happily giggling child was in the swing with Dad pushing him while Mom corralled two other children who were chasing the dog across the lawn.

I didn't stop to take a shot, that's such a privacy no-no but the scene made me smile and remember this one.

Hi Dianne ~~ That's a neat way to put up a swing for the little one. And it is nice and high so that someone has to put her/him in it. I need one to take to our park here. It only has the third of a tire type and KP isn't comfortable with those.

((((HUGS)))) for Hope! :)
Happy MidWeek Blues,

I like that tulip garden. Ruby Tuesday got sacrificed for time here. ;)

It is indeed fun imagining the scene you saw then! Love the colorful swing and wish there had been swings like that when my kids were little! Haven't seen clotheslines in a LONG time! Great post, Dianne! Hope you have a wonderful day!

As you were describing the vision you saw, I was imaging it in the photo.

And smiling too!

"I didn't stop to take a shot, that's such a privacy no-no."

I'm the same way, Dianne. I have this 'thing' about asking before I take a shot with someone in it.

Happy Wednesday, dear lady!

P.S. Great shot!

The 'scene' you described makes me smile.

We have swings in our yard for the GRANgirls and they are red. That blue stands out a lot better.

I remember when my eldest granddaughter was small enough to swing in one just like that... :-))

That just looks like it was waiting for the happy child -- and I am glad to know you saw that it was true! Your description is so good, we didn't really need the picture. Thanks for the smile (and the memories).

That is a really great shot! I conjured up such a visual of that father pushing his child and the children running around the yard...thanks so much!
