The Winter Chairs the Beginning

Once all my boys are out the door it's run the dishwasher, run the laundry, run the coffee maker, and get the day going. It is then that my mind wanders to the Chairs of Winter sitting out my kitchen window.  The Chairs will never grow up,they will never move out. They will always need me to tell their story. The life of a Chair is an easy one for the winter. 
They sit, they freeze, they wait for someone to bring them into the circle, Campfire, or snow storm. Chairs never argue. They will need me to stage their winter story from year to year until they go off on their journey to the curb.

The Chairs have a story every season but I feel like the winter story is the one I can tell more easily. I can easily imagine their days as a "family". It's a very different family, though. 

Chairold the original "abandon chair" was a lonely man out in the yard in 2007. My kids were 2, 5 ,and 7.  Ten years later Chairold is still in his stuck in his own head. 

Chairlene showed up a years later. She kept Chairold in check. She told him what he was doing wrong. She pointed out his idea of "fun" hide and seek? or some years shes sat on the patio watching him stuggle to get free of his Winter layers. She had plenty to point out when it came to Chairolds life of right and wrong. I wonder if Chairlene was a "first born" if one is to believe internet rumors and "they sayers", she's quite bossy. She knows everything. 
Experience of my own tells me that first borns do know everything and will tell you exactly what you are doing wrong.  Oh right, I think the word we're looking for her is a LEADER! yes that's it I'm a leader. 

Chairolton is he who spends the majority of his time trying to get Chairlene's attention. He is the chair who can do know wrong. He will gladly stay up high or over by the firepit, it all depends really on when the snow comes in the early winter but don't tell Chairolton that bit of information.  (She who holds the camera/phone, runs the show). 
Chairold, Chairlene and Chairold are all part of the "brown" family. They all showed up together here at Kyootycenter. They were all purchased at the same store on he same day. One has left us. He who never got named? He broke down early in his stage life.  I didn't stage him, he was in the house most of the time used as a kitchen table chair. Some would say he lived the high life too high with the children in the house. He helped them bake with me and he helped them climb the highest heights in the house. 

Chairlotte and Chairity, came about in the last 4yrs after the building of the new deck and patio. These two were gifts from my Hubby. He picked out Pink and Purple in a way to brighten things up. This year Chairlotte has been keeping Chairold company. I have no idea what Chairlene thinks of all this as she's been out hiding by the Fire pit buried. I wonder somtimes if Chairlotte is sneaking in on Chairlene's turf?
