If you are old enough and a fan of Charles Schultz, you will recall the delightful story of Linus and the Kite eating tree. I just think Peanuts are really fun. As I was walking past my window I saw "Linus" using his "blanket" to try and free his kite from an eater in my yard. This has been a wonderful season for flying a kite. There is a big hill out one of our windows and it is favorite for flying kites and sledding in the winter. Many a day I glance outside to see a bright kite reaching new heights. Well fancying myself to be a a mix between Sally and Lucy I headed outside to ask if "Charlie Brown" was around. Ben (our friend) was very focused on getting said kite back form the eater. I inquired the cost of the kite... 1.50. The tree was over 250.00 to plant and I contemplated this as it was whacked away at. Then I went and produced a rather large broom. Which Ben sailed right past the kite into another tree even higher up and more of a slant. SO now as I walk past my window the stars and stripes great me and a little to the left my very stuck broom. Ben replaced the broom but I forgot it at his house so he dropped it down to me over the balcony. I did not catch it and it broke. Ben did recover another kite that had sailed high over our 4 story home and crashed to the side. It has been fun remembering all my Peanut stories and having something to harass "Linus" about, although he never seems very bothered about any of our teasing.

This makes me laugh to read about it! And yes, that does look like a really big rat next to the fence! Soooo, did Ben ever replace the replacement broom? He was supposed to...
Did you ever get your broom back? Or did you cut down the tree?:)
The KITE is still there as is the broom and I think they may be there forever as the trees both grow around them, none of us has a ladder tall enough or the guts to shimmy up there:)
