Let's go fly a kite, Up to the highest height!

Update: The tornado Thursday night missed me and mine but did some damage around town. You can read about it here in the New York Times if you want to.



On a lovely spring day, I watched these two flying their kites. All the while I was singing, from Mary Poppins, Let's Go Fly A Kite,

"With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite"

And suddenly their kites tangled in the sky and came crashing down. I stopped singing and they started untangling.

I'll be gone for the next four days. I'm off to a family reunion in Nebraska. I'll see you when I return on Tuesday.
