red swing

[asakiyume]

I saw this yesterday. It's not really in the woods; it's at the back of someone's backyard, which backs onto the woods. But it looks like it is. The woodcutter was alone in the world after the untimely death of her husband, so she took her child with her when she went a-felling in the forest. She strung up a swing so the baby could rock and sway and converse with the squirrels and the birds while she worked. (They have red plastic in this mythical nevertime.)

It could be red leather, really And the child could learn the languages of winds, trees, squirrels, birds....

When I was a kid, I wanted red patent leather shoes that would glow like this.

I had oxblood coloured Mary Janes one year. My faves.

I had some understated maroon-ish colored red shoes one year and tried mightily to be satisfied with them.
