I grew up in the hills and woods of southwest Virginia, so I know how to play in a thin forest.

You write beautifully about the sand and how it became a playground for you and your brother. I have never been in a desert in my life.

I love your description of how the sand molds itself to the contours of your body. Being a Mainer and not having spent much time in deserts, it never really appealed to me, until I read your description - what a wonderful childhood and amazing memories.

Not a big beach fan. Did you happen to see Allan Wright's post last week (I think) about sand. He had some interesting thoughts too. It makes me sad that kids today can't explore the world the way you described your playing.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.com
