(July 19, 2011) Days like these hot ones remind me of the old days when the biggest treat was running through the lawn sprinkler to cool off with the neighborhood kids. Remember the sprinkler that turned around and around, then the new model that waved back and forth? Are there lawn sprinklers anymore in these times of fancy irrigation systems?
Nobody had air conditioning at home, or even in their cars. You just opened the windows and made sure the screens were down to keep out the bugs. Sometimes we made "popsicles" by freezing Kool-Aid in ice trays with toothpicks. What simple pleasures!
After watering the plants outside early this cool morning, I'm staying inside with the air conditioning against the afternoon heat wave. It's a good time to update my blog and check out the other Recorder blogs as well as the online news here at newjerseyhills.com.
