Bubble Boys

Two little boys played on the patio one level below me. Each was armed with one of those "bubble guns" that holds a full container of bubble liquid. They ran back and forth, trailing streams of transparent spheres that would have made Lawrence Welk proud. They took great delight in sending them off into the trees, watching them pop as they met a leaf or branch. A few caught the breeze and drifted up to me, rainbow colors swirling on their fragile surfaces. So simple, so fascinating, no matter what your age.
