Childhood memories

"boiled owl"
m&ms in film cans
Uncle Skippy drinking mountain dew
hiding under the sewing machine because of Uncle Skippy on my 4th birthday (I was so cute, cuter than Ari)
That spell -- those spells -- with the rocks and wires
painting quartz pebbles from the leachfield
Potion Very Bubbly
Hens in dresses
duck wedding, drake in tux, duck in gown
the Dog Carriage
the Arch of Happiness
Waiting for the dump truck with the garden dirt
Having the road not improved, writing the letter to Old Cat
Smashing fireweed up to get the goop from the stems
Making mud and sprucecone bricks with Geoff
wasp-stomping

hunh..my great grandmother used to carry on about things be "hotter than a biled owl" wonder if that was supposed to be boiled, and why were you boiling owls?

It was actually boiled chicken of some description, with soy sauce. Mama made it a lot.

Awww, this is taking me back!

Amelia Bedelia dancing
dragonfly houses
hypnotizing chickens, chickens
the warmer-sitter
wearing our tosks to the Zeum
Elly Offices
the Work House
Squirrel Gai
the ABC
numanums
"cukuoo, cukuoo!"
Seabrights
geese in the bathtub
Dabble's nest
the glass birthday plate
"watch your fingers!"
Fork you... so spoon? That's not knife!

Hee. And of course the flood, and digging holes with the mud, and the Chicken Scouts...
