(No swimming pools where I grew up.) It was a calmer life, spending time with my mom and sister on a long walk as we picked and prepared our dinner that night. I hope more parents will take the time to do those things with their kids today.

Besides, I loved school, so I hated to see it end every year. As a mom with children still in the home, I did enjoy having the kids with me every day. As for the flowers, I love them. But then, orange is my favorite color!

The fact they can survive in roadside ditches actually makes me like them even more. I'll never look at them the same way again now. Our area of Ontario has a lot of bright pink cherry blossom trees. I spend months looking forward to them blooming every year. But people here are grumbling about them, because right now we have crushed pink flower pedals all over the car, driveway, floors, and even stuck to the front of the house!
