Let’s Go Fly a Kite

David L Dahl Blog, My General Musings 0 0

Underfoot, the lawn was a white carpet of spring beauties. Overhead, brightly colored kites danced to the silent rhythm of the wind. It was a gusty, blustery wind that whistled through the trees. Children’s laughter rose above the birdsongs. Four-year-old Caroline grinned and shrieked with joy as she flew her first kite. At six, brother Dane was an old hand; he flew his kite higher. “Watch the trees!” I yelled, remembering Dane’s first outing. His ‘favorite’ kite, decorated with a…..
