The first activity that came to mind was witches brew. My sisters and I would get all kinds of great ingredients from the yard to mix up in our witches brew. Sometimes, our cauldron was a hole in the ground by the swingset, sometimes it was in a big black barrel, and sometimes it was in the wheelbarrow. We used sticks, rocks, leaves, twigs, apricot pits, dirt, and anything hanging out in the gutter. We mixed and stirred for hours on end. I'm amazed at how often we were entertained by such simple things. And to think of all the toys I've bought for my kids! All you really need is a little dirt, sticks, and imagination!

Oh my word! This is one of those memories that brings joy instantaneously. The imagination that we had...this one could probably only be accompanied by the snow houses that were built in the park every winter, followed by hot chocolate with mini candy canes. Now I freeze before touching any snow!
