Thank you ...

for the canopy of trees and bushes made ideal for a ready-made fort.

for the river to explore and the ducks to get excited about as they dip and dive and dawdle.

for the road ways that are flat like a plain and ready to race on with a two-wheeler or with training wheels.

for the neighbours who delight in their "little beauties".

for the beach that changes with the seasons and is just a pedal away.

for childhood playmates who are thrilled to see each other every single day.
