My Sunshine Daydream Painting

Summertime 1960 something. We used to climb on our bikes after breakfast almost every day and be gone until dinner. Sometimes we played sports at our little playground, but other times we just took off on our bikes to see what we could discover that day. Often our adventures were close to home, probably within a 10 minute ride. But that wasn't a problem because there were plenty of things to do and lots of mischief to get into right in King Manor. We had commuter train tracks at the end of the street to the right of my house that created one border of our neighborhood, and just beyond the tracks was a granite quarry. It was fenced in but of course we found multiple entrance points. The workmen set off dynamite in there six days a week that shook everybody's house, but we thought it was great and tried to be looking in from the ledge when the charges went off. At the end of my street to the left was a cul de sac that ended at a small family farm with corn, strawberries, and pumpkins. Past the cornfield were sprawling woods with a creek running through it. In those days a group of boys could play in the woods and in a creek for hours. Best of all was an old overgrown and abandoned farmhouse that was in a horrible state of disrepair. Only the bravest kids ever went in there to confront the ghosts and felonious criminals inside, and those kids told me it was dark and really scary in there. On a ridge above the woods were the Conrail freight trains... which were impossible to stay away from for curious boys of a certain age. Ah, the old neighborhood. Simpler times. Safer times. A great time to be a kid.
