Back in the Day
Today at Gather.com, I shared some of my childhood memories. I've shared the same things here. Sitting in the backyard cherry tree writing poetry and drawing pictures to go with them. Eating sweet cherries from that tree, and peaches and grapes from my yard. Finding crab apples and raspberries around the neighborhood, and wild onions in the woods. Swinging on vines in the woods.

I also mentioned what fun it was to gather at night and watch the slag dump. *Smile* We were easily entertained back then.

I couldn't find any pictures of the slag dumps at night in Pittsburgh, PA, but I did find one from Tibet and one from Soda Springs, Idaho.

If you've always wondered what a slag dump looked like at night (I know you have! *Laugh*), be sure to check out these links.
