It is good to have an imagination. Today children are entertained by other people, folks who do not have their best interests at heart. When I was a child I loved to believe that there really were fairies. We played outside and made secret homes for ourselves among the trees and under the ground. We built toys from things we found. Kids played together and climbed trees and walked for miles across the fields. We looked for sticklebacks in the streams and we drank from those streams. We loved the woods and fields and spent all our time outside. Fresh air and sunshine. No one wore sunscreen or got skin cancer from the sun that we heard of. Nothing like making mud pies and getting dirty. We collected flowers for our mums and looked for birds nests and learned the wildlife and about nature. It was a safe environment back then. I miss that now.
