Sadly, too many rules to list. But, one in particular, my mom really got irritated if we “messed up the snow” in the front yard. She liked it looking pristine.
i love the look of pristine snow as well but if we want to be able to back out the cars then the snowblower and plow are a must. also-pristine snow in a yard around us can be a clue to robbers that the owners are away so neighbors will help each other out when someone is away from home by driving cars in and out to create tire tracks, walk around the driveway and up and down the porch walkways for the appearance of someone being home.
Had to be in bed by 8 pm during the summer, when all the neighborhood kids were allowed to stay out and play until at least sunset, which can be as late as 8:34 pm, or dark, which can be past 9 pm.
you've reminded me of an OLD poem by robert lewis stevenson-
Bed in Summer
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
