From my mother’s hometown of Durand, Illinois.
I think number 3 and 6 are ancestors of mine due to their last names. I see no family resemblance though and I’d best do some more serious research on theh possibility.
But I love this photograph found in my mother’s things.
A guest blog today as my friends are traveling.

We picked up two kinds of sandwiches to create a picnic at Aspinwall Riverfront Park . Labriola’s Italian Subs and Glen’s Frozen Custard Ice Cream Sandwiches on Chocolate Chip Cookies. Oh and a few bottles of water.
At the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium on Tuesday. Just the two of us.
Spoiler alert: if you are going and want to guess the weight of these enormous pumpkin specimens don’t look as I have the answers shown in the photos below the pumpkins.
I was trying to envision how these huge pumpkins were transported and installed.
There are signs Do not Touch or Climb
The animals were great but my grandson Ananda loved seeing all the Mighty Machines where construction workers were working in the zoo.
My friend Vincie inspired this post.
She was telling me her experience of seeing tress in the process of changing colors when she was on a recent New England vacation.
Her noticing the process and telling me about the mixed colors on the trees had me noticing and taking a photo.
We all know a photograph has limitations to capture mother nature’s work but the light was nice on this. tall tree as it was starting to turn to red from green.
I’ll have to get a couple of her photos to add to the post as we aren’t in New England here.
Here’s an article Why Leaves Change Color in the Fall
I’ll take another photograph in a few days
