more + more delights {6}

This one’s great.

Last week running errands a few towns over, I stopped at a red light where the road came to a T. It was a long light, and from where I sat, I watched a little boy play in the front yard.

He looked to be in the ballpark of 7 years old. It was a cold, dry day. He wore boots. A winter coat, unzipped and flapping behind. A pom pom hat.

He leaned at a good angle, holding the arms of a shin-high dinosaur that walked on hind legs. The arms looked longer than those of a T-rex (always the funny thing about a T-rex, right?) — but it was upright in that way you usually see a rex.

This boy was all in. He and that dino, in their own prehistoric land. They hobbly-ran. Side to side, as best they could — given the restrictions of a large, plastic, extinct animal.

No parent. No pal. No screen.

No earbuds/no airpods/whatever.

No nothing.

Just —

Everything.

May your weekend be as delightful. ♥

Any plans to play?
