With several nice days, most of the snow has melted and it feels good to be able to finally open the windows after a long winter. I think everyone, including the critters, has spring fever and I bet the kids would rather play hookey and play outside in the sunshine than to be stuck in a classroom today.
But I think this old school hasn’t had any children playing hooky in a long time. When I drove past it yesterday, I could picture kids, with their metal lunch pails, eating lunch and playing outside during recess. But now the sounds of laughing children have vanished from the school yard and its memories crumbling away like the building and soon will be erased from the landscape.
