Hay Some More




No haying picture collection can be complete without this one of Mother and Ann. (Another Dwight Blood Photo) Mother could swing a pitchfork like any other farm hand. After Ann confessed to all of the mischief that she and Steve got into, I am wondering if Mother had Ann close by so she could keep an eye on her???

Actually, I don't remember taking this picture since I was probably gone from home by then. But then maybe I misremember and it was just late at night and I was speaking gibberish (or telling outright fibs and trying to get by with it).

Dwight, remember, you gave me the Baby Brownie when you moved up in the camera world. I have more than a few pictures that my baby-sitting money would allow.

This was probably taken when I was in the second or third grade. I got my first "short" hair cut in the second grade. That I remember vividly because I took a comb to school on the first day after my haircut, because, for the first time ever, I could comb my own hair - my pigtails were quite long before they were cut off, and mother would work her way through the snarls every morning, brushing and combing and then hope I would stay presentable for the day. Miss Courtney, my second grade teacher, got so irritated with me (who, me?) that she threatened to take away my comb if I didn't stop combing my hair during class. Hmmm, does this make Judy's comment more accurate than I want to remember?
