I'm an outdoor person. I guess it comes from spending so much time outside as a kid. My mother's favorite expression was, "You kids, go on outside and play!"
Of course that was in between the times that we were hoeing the cotton patch, taking food to the field hands harvesting wheat, or riding on the back of the bailer checking bails as dad put up the alfalfa.
Then there were those halycon moments all day long under the shade tree shelling peas or snapping beans.
Ah! Those were the good ol' days! I'll say one thing though. I learned early on the value of work. To this day, it is hard for me to waste time.
I wear sun screen when I'm outside, but I tan anyway. I bought new sun screen yesterday, going from 30 to 50. I have fair skin; but it must be my Indian blood, because I get as brown as the little coppertone girl in the summer.
I used to love my tan when I was younger. Now, I could do without it. The only way that is going to happen, though, is if I could constrain myself from working in the yard.
Don't think that is going to happen, however. It's my therapy. I can forget all my worries when I'm digging in the dirt.
