In an age of rules,made by those afraid of lawsuits,
some of the simple pleasures of life are in danger of being forgotten.
One evening,
not too long ago,
my husband and I took our son for a walk.
On a particularly lovely street in downtown Columbus, Ohio
are massive fountains that just beg for toes to be dipped in.
I helped our son take his shoes off
and just for a moment or two,
take a trip into the past,
to a simpler time.
As he played in the water,
I smiled...
and remembered the many times my own mother let me play.
My mom kept a towel in the trunk of our car to dry of my brother and I if we got a bit too damp from an adventure.
Creek wading...
fountain splashing...
even the hand pump at the rest stop...
The possibilities were endless...
Sigh...
I love summer!
