Good Question. I suppose I remember walking through snow that was up almost up my shoulders so I had to have been pretty small. There was a trail that I guess dad had made from the house out to the barn. I don't remember any storms after that which were anything like it. There were a lot of drifts for several years that would form at the top of the hill as the snow would blow off of the bench. They would form over the trees creating caves under them that we would dig into and use as forts. So I suppose a lot of my first memories were about snow and our yard. I remember climbing trees and going for long hikes along the trails through the hills. It was a good place to make early memories.

As a young child, what did you look like?
I was skinny, and short. But I made up for it by being fast and smart, well kinda smart, I think. I had sandy red hair and plenty of freckles. I could get sunburned in a few short minutes of being in the sun so I learned to pull off dead, flaky skin or wear long sleeve shirts, I choose the latter. Every now and then I would forget but the pain would continue to make me remember the next time. I would have short hair in the summer and longer but never past my ears if mom had anything to do with it and she did. It was short in the summer because we would get a buzz at the start of every summer so that we would be able to work in the heat easier. I wore mostly hand-me-down clothes from the three older brothers. I would get new underwear and socks since they seldom made it past one person.
