It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses.I suppose we had some sort of supper.I suppose there must have been a surface tidying­up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough.The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward.I felt a little embarrassed.Surely none of the others had been as excited as I．I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are”．

　　The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three­year­old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”

　　My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling.“It's a wonderful day，”she offered, “really warm, yet there's a fine breeze.Do you remember that day we flew kites？”

　　I stopped in my dash between stove and sink.The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories.“Come on，” I told my little girl.“You're right, it's too good a day to miss.”
