We amuse ourselves at different times of the year by different games. In the end of Autumn we go around the fields picking nuts and blackberries. In the winter when the snow is there we make bird cribs. We make them with scollips and twine. In spring we "peg tops" and whip them. In summer we "hurl" and kick "football" and play "handball".
