A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss.
Not True, Not True. My two older Brothers and I were always active (rolling) like most kids.
When our Dad built our first house (A log cabin) we three boys were made to gather moss
from the woods nearby to fill the gaps in the logs to keep out the weather and to make for warmth
from cold air. We were one year apart so I would guess are ages at 7, 6 and 5. I remember it well
and enjoyed the "gathering". My brother Dick did an "express strip" of clothes when a thousand legged worm ( that's what we named them) (lived in the moss) fell down his shirt. Just one of the unforgettable
happenings when we were young. Will try to get a pic. of that log cabin to show here later.
