Tomatoes on the Roof

The place we were living in had no yard, so Dad got some 5 gallon buckets and put them on the roof to grow some tomato plants. They turned out pretty good. So, he had some kind of garden going every year, even when he had no ground.

Jim and I started school at the Margaret Mace school and we had to walk the 16 blocks. We also had to walk home for lunch and walk back, so that made 4 trips a day, rain or shine. They never heard of snow days and it snowed plenty that year. We were just like the kids in the "Christmas Story."
