We would play there for hours in the dust. Back home, I pestered Mum to buy legs of lamb to get a jack set, which she did. But my mates played marbles.

I don't usually hear them until sometime in August. Cicadas seem to be around when it's very hot..

I remember playing Jacks on our front porch, with legs folded up as you describe. I can't sit like that any longer either. Other favorite summer activities were playing Simon Says, jumping rope, catching fireflies and playing dodgeball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-45228172303691195842010-07-15T11:59:10.953-05:002010-07-15T11:59:10.953-05:00We didn't play any of the games you mentioned ...We didn't play any of the games you mentioned but there were others that filled our time... usually in the winter months when it was too cold to go outdoors. <br /><br />Crickets are my enemy when they sing at night...
