It must be that time of year! Today, however, he was marching the length of the backyard. The silent neighbors who live behind us had their kitchen light on in the dreary gloom of the late afternoon. I wonder what they think of us? of the boy who plays outside for hours at a time? <BR/><BR/>[And this would be why I don't post every day -- I use up all of my good words in comments on other people's blogs!]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-88865114210226566422009-03-15T16:59:00.000-04:002009-03-15T16:59:00.000-04:00This brings back memories of my brother & I ra...This brings back memories of my brother & I racing around on our bikes as kids :)Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-81738607600584457982009-03-15T16:49:00.000-04:002009-03-15T16:49:00.000-04:00They were bubbling with excitement.

We didn't go anywhere unless our feet were clad with rubber boots. And it still got inside our boots. <BR/><BR/>It's definitely exhilarating to see the kids out enjoying themselves again.<BR/><BR/>Oh and last year my 25 year old renewed his love of biking by purchasing a new mountain bike.
