a sure sign –
a bike hurriedly tossed on its side
no doubt someone excited to play
if i had to guess
i’d say there is a child on summer vacation
somewhere nearby.

Yes, too excited to bother to use the bike stand or prop it against a fence. I have done that! :)
Best wishes, Pete.

Going way, way back, Beth … I remember that I tried to use my kick stand because I needed my bike to stay fresh enough to get me around the big neighborhoods to visit with my school’s out friends every dang day.

Pretty good guess, I reckon. Every once in a while, I still get that feeling.

I enjoyed your posts I read tonight, Beth. I like all the neat kid things you post.
The unicorn is adorable.
There are no kids in my life, seriously. So when I read school’s out, Alice Cooper’s song “School’s Out” burst full blast into my head.
John Lewis, Elvis, Bukowski … you put a great batch together! Thank you.
RIP George Winston!
