• the lemon tree in the front yard
  • sitting on the counter while my dad cooked
  • watching plums grow on the tree in the backyard, for the first time since anyone could remember
  • climbing that tree
  • the barbie house my dad made for me
  • trying to save a baby bird
  • walking up to my best childhood friends house
  • the croaking frogs at night
  • the pale lavender of my room
  • forcing my dad to shave his terrible mustache off
  • Beanie Babies, everywhere
  • Trying to create a rolly polly farm
  • Capturing caterpillars in jars and poking holes in the lid
  • blowing bubbles
  • looking up at the sky at night while my dad barbecued and thinking the stars were simply an effect created by someone pulling a piece of black velvet with small holes poked in it over the day sky
  • making forts
  • A birthday party for Toto (stuffed dog), and my mom making a cake for him
  • Sitting in a rocking chair with a boy neighbor from up the street and promising to marry him
  • Splitting my lip with a frisbee
