Peaceful Sunday Afternoon

My 13-year-old son spent Sunday afternoon building a raft.

Adventurous,

challenging,

messy,

complicated,

absorbing,

and fun.

It was delightful watching the (failed) launch and
totally undaunted, hearing his immediate plans
for raft number two already on the next weekend.

(Reading this over my shoulder just now he smiled and said
"Yes, it was fun and oh I have this great idea for next time . . .")
