Beautifully written, Bryn. Got me thinking about my summers of the 1960s.

Oh, Bryn, what a beautiful poem! The memories conveyed through your writing...so real! After, I read the poem, I had to stop and think back to some of my own summer days when I was a youngster! Thank you for this gift this morning!

Sugar sack pants sound like they're related to the old flour sack dresses...

Oh interesting! I just emerged from a rabbit hole on flour sack dresses (the patterns boggle the mind!) The sugar sacks weren’t as pretty so I guess that’s when the tie-dying came into play.

Oh the sugar refinery! Unlocked some childhood memories there.

Really? I’m curious! Just that it was around or something more? 🧐
