Let's talk about treehouses. I saw three boys of about 11 making a fort in a paperbark gum in the bush yesterday. Watching them was great fun (particularly for the Tsunamis who were busy taking notes to attempttheir own tree-top fort - in about five years time, kiddos!). It could have been any era, any country, any Summer... some things are just timeless.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
1. The simple things - high in a tree, building a house, lost shirt, big brown belly laughs, a rope to pull up the big planks, a tireless friend scooting up the little ones, pushing and shoving with mudsoaked hands, hot work, a bottle of cool water waiting on the ground, waiting to tip over a protesting friend.
2. Fabrics - a quick cut with the scissors and a tablecloth, some bunting, a gift wrap, a mermaid tail, a headband, endless possibilities are born.
3. Skipping - is there anything more joyous than a child learning to skip?
Finally, if you can spare a moment, please join Jelly Shane's Girl Power initiative to help out My Pear Tree House.
