If was a weekend of traditions. The kind of annual events likely to be captured in a Norman Rockwell montage.
Motivated Mom was vigorously scrubbing both plastic and metal patio furniture in anticipation of entire weekends spent outdoors. At the opposite end of the yard I was transferring vegetable plants from plastic green containers to freshly turned soil.
Dinners were plated directly from the barbecue grill and the hours after sunset were spent in front of the glowing coals of a fire in the outdoor fireplace. Fire-side discussion was of toasted marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers.
Late night treats under starry skies rolled into breakfast on the patio followed by still more barbecued treats.
Some of the best memories are those created outdoors.
