Lapping It Up: 1960

My brothers, circa 1960, from the family 35mm slide collection. I do not know the location, it does not look like any lot we lived on. My guess is it was a neighbor's house in South Bend, Indiana, where we have visited them before. | View full size.

An Acquired Taste

I suspect drinking from the water hose is what helped me to train my taste buds to accept hot coffee.

Sums up summer

The heat, the exuberance, the coolness, the splashing, the freedom.

Taste of the past

This brings back a vivid memory of the wonderful flavor of garden hose water. Not sure my high school age son knows that taste.

Pinch Me

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
