199. Hiding Spaces: Write about places you like to hide things at. What was a favorite hiding spot for you as a child playing hide-and-seek?
Although I liked playing hide-and-seek as a kid, there were not many kids to play with so I did not get to play very often. We had 6-foot-tall juniper hedges that were maybe covered an 8’x4′ area and my mom would regularly thin the interior for fire safety reasons. With the hollowed chamber in the center with prickly foliage surrounding me, I loved hiding there so I could watch the seeker but they could not see me if I did not move. The camouflage was crucial in avoiding detection and consequentially the success of running in home free. I loved using plants and trees to hide in.
