OK figured I'd give everybody a laugh. I got my favorite kite stuck up in a tree. It was quite breezy today and weather was still pretty pleasant so I decided to take my 60 something self outside to try to fly a kite.
I didn't have much success getting it to stay up. Right before giving up it darted up and got lodged in a tree. Way to high up to retrieve, so I now have a tree ornament. I'm still giggling at myself, though I really did like that kite. I'm glad I have my only close neighbor who is my brother; who already knows I travel off the beaten path.
Good for you!
I used to loved kite flying. You reminded me of how much fun it was. My Dad used to take my sister and I out to do it when we were kids. There was a large open field not far from us, that didn't have any electric or phone poles near us that was perfect for kite flying. We had so much fun on windy days, when we could get a kite going pretty high up.
When my DH and I were first married, we would go to a local park that had open spaces, and would take a kite there, too.
We have some good parks here that are good for kite flying, too.
People like to do it along Lake Michigan, too, along some of the lake front parks.
