Summers on Windmill Hill were full of gardens, kittens, dress up and many, many hours enjoying being outdoors. I think any day it was sunny, we were outside, reading, cooking out, wading in the brook, riding bikes, playing catch, exploring the woods,… the list goes on and on. We were fortunate to have both Mom and Dad home during the summer since, as teachers, they had summers off. I think I was in Junior High before I realized not everyone had parents that could be home ready with popsicles all summer. – Alice io

In the early 1970s we spent summers in Nova Scotia, along the Bay of Fundy, Canada. It is a beautiful and rugged place with spectacular rocky beaches.

The sound when the tide came in was amazing as all those rocks were rolled around. I don’t recall doing much swimming, as the water was cold and rough, but I do remember hours upon hours of seeing what creatures lived in the tidal pools. – Alice
