Here is a nice one that Max took
Brings back memories of the big puddle in the sidewalk in front of our house. Every kid in the neighborhood was biking through it!
When we were kids our bikes had fenders. If you look at Max’s back you can see a stripe up his back where the rear wheel sprayed him with water. Nice for a hot day.Brings back memories of the big puddle in the sidewalk in front of our house. Every kid in the neighborhood was biking through it!
Lotta stripes in my yard. Exactly when did they stop putting fenders on bikes. Even my spider bike had a fender.When we were kids our bikes had fenders. If you look at Max’s back you can see a stripe up his back where the rear wheel sprayed him with water. Nice for a hot day.

Yes, there were fields of pink flowered potato plants and white flour potato pants. I will have to go back in the fall and see if the pink flowers go with red potatoes in the white flowers go with white potatoes.Is it as high as an elephant’s eye yet?
