This is their first day of summer, or better known as the first day of summer vacation. Sacha and his four cousins (two are not mention on the list above) are between 13 and 16 years of age. As Joe who just turned 13 said, "This will be the summer of all summers!" Of course in all honesty they have been saying this since they could talk and every summer is… the summer of their dreams come true.
I was up on the rice dryer, (as tall as a barn) taking photos of the dust cropper when I saw the boys trying to do double turns while touching their toes at the same time. Sacha is the one on the far left, then Joe, then Sam. The dust cropper does look like a master ballerina at times. At least my imagination thinks it does.. Don't you agree? The best thing about growing up in a rural town, (or at least in Sacha's case to have this childhood place of mine to come and spend summer vacation,) is the allowance to have the freedom to be a kid.
The dust cropper as low as it can go before swooping up to miss the telephone wires.
My dream is to be a dust cropper ballerina, swoop and twirl, dive and dip and fly like a butterfly on such a stage.
I think it is one of their dreams too… to have the freedom to enyoy every moment of their summer vacation on the stage called a ranch.
Let's dance!
