Sandman
Time passes by fast at least if it comes to summer. The longest day is over meaning we are getting closer to winter again. I can't say I really felt that summer yet. It kept raining and only since a week (or shorter) the temps are higher (it did rain, let's say it saves me time watering the plants).
I try to make a garden as a gift and it's not easy since most of what we have is sand instead of good soil.
I’m leaving the old paving slabs, which remind me of the past (as in the song ‘Mr Sandman’), and the gravel pavers in place, although some of them do need to be laid a bit higher. Sunken slabs only make the water problem worse when it rains. There is a drain, incidentally, but it’s not much use. I’ve never seen any water drain away through it. It may be full of sand or mud, or just as bad as the sewer system (heavy rain always leads to a blocked toilet!).
Mr. sandman is called 'Klaas Vaak' (vaak means frequently and Klaas is an ordinary boy's name). He doesn't play a huge rule in a Dutchman's life. I never heard stories about this guy. I guess we simply fall asleep or stay awake and wait for the tooth fairy...
If it comes to the old days..I miss them. The lives we lived, the trust we had, the way people greeted another without second thoughts. Neighbours helping out and the good food we had. How about you?

Outside of your post. ¿you will be part of ? I miss the support, it helps me a lot
What can say? Is it time again? I noticed too we are the forgotten ones. I didn't check the deadline for the new curators. You?
I have no idea how this works. What I do is try to stay active and deserve the support . I'd be lying if I said otherwise. You know how I am. If there's a chance to win this help, I'll work to get it.
I will not apply for next month and I know you are active. I really feel sorry the creative ones rarely receive support.
I noticed those being curato month after month always vote same ones and another same for the nominations. They do not care too much about the rest. This besides of the fact the upvoted are getting smaller and Steem its value is close to zero same to other crypto. Not steem's faultore like Trump's war and the one world order plans. Just hang in and hope solperez will be chosen. Most likely she will.
I think it's fair to support the most active people, but well, that's just my humble opinion.
They do not or should go for most active but for those adding something unique to the platform. What exactly that is no one knows. Same counts for quality content.
It looks to if it comes to Steemit they only bet on games or at least try to find a way to attract investors — with games.
I don't have time to play, so I'll have to wait until support is given based on merit; maybe it should be that way, that's only fair.
Nice to have neighbors like this. I remember those days when I could befriend and played with the neighborhood kids. We lived in those low cost flat where kids run around freely
Same here. You know I have good memories of the moms of those children as well. One of the neighbours once gave all children a Travis uit with butter and chocolate sprinkles on it.
Another neighbour spontaneous gave oliebollen she was feying at the end of the year in her shed after Ibsaid it smelled so good.
Children no longer play outside. It is what I told the council meeting about their master plan during last Friday’s meeting. There is no point in building playgrounds.
How are you doing? It is good to see you back.
I feel that one of the reason being it's not as safe as last time even though I came across many perverted flashers in my time.
I'm okay here. There's a bit of improvement after being drained of energy for the entire month. How about you?
It is good to hear you do a bit better. The last straw to grab and hold turns out to be a strong one. I hope you will receive a lot of energy to continue life, your great writings. You are a good artist and loved!
While crawling through a dark tunnel I keep myself busy, go to bed early if I feel too, and in the meanwhile fight those trying to manipulate me with their words and deeds. It is a continuous fight to not let some keep crossing my boundaries and raising adults. My child says I should retire from everything and I did enough.
I cannot say life is a party right now (not that it ever was) at least the sun shines and I make a garden for my daughter as a gift. I did not find a place yet to rest my head but set my eyes on a certain country.
I will visit Den Bosch today to have a look at the art shop. Who knows they sell some cheap oil pastels to try out. Strange a few months ago I saw them everywhere and now they are all gone. Hard to believe everyone is sold out.
Stay strong dear and above all find and take those few moments bringing you joy!
