swingin' on by

[chelidon]

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
--Robert Frost

Today I spent indoors. And I don't regret it. But tomorrow, I will go swing on a birch.

I used to do that a lot when I lived on land that had birches. :)

Well, it rained rained rained most of the day, and more all weekend, it seems. Slippery birches ;> I may put off the birch-swinging 'till Monday and make my trouble inside for now.
