Is that summer I see?
The days are getting longer and hotter but that just means summer is around the corner, or actually standing on the corner peaking around the telephone pole. I was walking to City Park and stopped to talk to my new neighbor who bought the historic house on the corner – he was bringing down an enormous pecan tree (he wasn’t, the tree company was) because it was rotten. Yes those pecan trees grow gigantic but when they fall – well I still remember my neighbor’s coming down in my backyard during the Federal Flood and our having to cut it up and haul it out. Why I didn’t think to save that precious wood now is a mystery to me – but most likely because my mind was rotten at that time as well.
So school’s a week away from being out for summer and the annual picnic was held in City Park yesterday. We passed a good time, yeah, on the great lawn in front of Storyland. Evan commented on how well behaved Waldorf School kids are, of course, right before photo time, all those well behaved kids found the water fountain and all those cute little hair-dos and summer clothes were dripping wet – at least they were all smiling for the shot.
