FallDecor Featured in C-19Let's Play in the Dirt
I've always liked to play in the dirt. I think it was the one thing I consistently got in trouble for when I was a little kid. My mom started out with some funny ideas about raising kids... an me being the firstborn bore the brunt of some of those ideas. One was that kids were supposed to stay clean!! I've had relatives tell me that she would change my clothes 3 or 4 times a day so that I would always be clean! That pretty much ended after I turned 3 and my sister Marsha was born. Living on a farm it was pretty hard to keep anything clean let along moving targets like kids, housepets and husbands!!! But mom spent a lot of time and energy trying to keep everyone and everything clean. I'm not saying this is a bad think I'm just saying that I just can't get that worked up about it! One of my favorite places to play in the dirt was under the lilac and/or mock orange bushes that grew in our yard. These bushes had big overhanging branches and nothing grew under their shade. It was a cool and quiet place to dig in the dirt, fill things with dirt, sift dirt between you toes and make roads and rivers in the dirt. Mom also said that you would "get worms" from playing in the dirt. But I think that's from eating dirt which I don't think I ever did.(at least not on purpose) Well, what do you know.....in the August 14-20, 2008 issue of The Reader I spot a piece in Michael Braunstein's "Bits and Pieces" column called "The Dirt on Happiness". It seems scientists have found a harmless soil bacteria that seems to relieve depression and increases happiness. Apparently there is a mechanism that triggers serotonin, a brain chemical that makes you feel good. Exposure to this bacteria in early childhood is strengthens the immune system and reduces the chances of adult onset asthma and allergies. So this is one time I'm glad I did't listen to my Mother. After my sisters were born, I took them out to my favorite dirt digging places and we all dug around in the dirt! Mom gave up on trying to keep us out of it. I still play in the dirt! Isn't that what gardening is?Happy Heroes:
