Fill in the blank

Yesterday my Mum called me and told me that the house behind theirs had been “invaded.” Their neighbour had been shot (he’s okay) and that the men that had done it had fled into the conservation land in between the two houses. Apparently the police were at my parents’ house running between my bedroom and theirs looking out the windows into (my) meadow. They managed to catch one of the assailants at the edge of our backyard - but not the other.

I’m usually mild-mannered about things - but not so much about this. I know, I know we live in the real world but is nothing sacred?! The plain old child in me is thinking that the meadow is not a villain hideout - and criminals… leave my neighbours in Bramps alone!

So in an effort to restore some idealism (and a throwback to childhood) here’s a shot that I took of Ali in the meadow a couple weekends ago. If you’d fill in the blank and post it in the comments (or email it to me) I’d be grateful.

    a season of popsicles and slow heartbreak.

    Summer was always climbing into the hilly forest behind my parents’ old house where there lay a small aircraft, crashed several years beyond my memory. The type of craft unknown to me became the site of countless World War 3 dogfights, battling fictional enemies with all we had. Honing our machine gun sound effects beyond perfection. Terrified that the plane actually contained live ammunition, although it provided us countless hours of entertainment, we were not careless. As the plane gave us diversion, it also taught us respect.

    Senses would tingle around supper time as our mothers began to serve meals over a kilometre away. The game would be postponed but it didn’t matter. Summer was always eternal.
