It was under the tree house where my siblings and I would play restaurant, serving up birdseed soup and mud pies.  It was in the big red barn that we would play hide-and-seek. It was on the tire swing where we would shout out made-up songs. It was on the screened-in porch where I spent hours filling notebooks with story ideas.
