What did you see when you looked into the yard, and peered into memory? Did you see two little girls playing, or your mother coming to treat a hurt, or your father crossing the yard to build a playhouse? I saw a yard covered with snow, and tears running down the cheeks of the woman I love. I wanted to get moving, to place a dangerous crossroad behind us; but that had to wait, as there were memories to care for. We rode home in silence, and I was a little disappointed to see we were near Ypsilanti; as I wanted to continue on into the night. Love, Your Adventurous Friend

Comments like that reflect more on the commentor than on the commentee.

And, what did I see? I looked at my old treehouse, where I had years ago woven a tenuous rope platform 50 feet up, on which I'd lie, practically in the clouds, and dream.

...and scenes of playing with my sister, and gone innocence, and the like.

...and sassafras turning colors through the year, and complicated raft-like devices in the now-gone pool......and digging Greek kitchen-holes in the way backyard and making our own stuffed grapeleaves and pie-tin delight.... Playing with my own kids on these long-ago traipsed grasses covered in snow makes my heart ache to not be 35 anymore but 9, please, just for a bit. And so many Christmases..28 in that house....I wish for 28 more....a hundred more.....

What a sad and sweet comment, dear sis.

Indeed. And mapping the backyard...this is your territory, this is mine; and the secret animal society, and baking potatoes in the bonfire by the now-gone garden. And the peach tree there. Remember the peach tree, and eating a sun-warm peach? 28 Christmases there...I also hope for 28 more.
