A midsummer's night

Callum and I sat at the table in Swingers awaiting his mini American breakfast, heuvos rancheros for me, puzzles from home between us, freshly squeezed apple juice, Mr Jesse's animated story time at the library where we joined the summer reading programme, a short stroll to the beach dipping our toes in the sand by the playground, making friends for Callum, picking up Reuben from school, hanging out in the kitchen and an evening's stroll in the wetlands, whereupon the boys found a cobra and a frog.

I know I am but a run down record, but the love and compassion between these two little boys is boundless.

More snakes and frogs...
