Backyard Snow

Photos of my mother Doris, my aunt Mary V and their brothers Mershell and Howard Graham. My grandparents bought the house on Theodore in 1923, before my mother was born. They lived there until 1968 when they moved into a two family flat with my family. Here are some winter photos taken in the back yard.

  1. Loved seeing the children, and their outfits! Such a fun fuzzy coat on your aunt in the first shot. At least the 1927 photo had kids with mittens, otherwise some bare hands in the snow must have been cold! So glad someone caught your mother and the baby in the window in the last photo, it makes an extra depth to the family. Hope you and your loved ones have a very happy holiday season!

    1. I think Mary V has on gloves in the 1929 photo. They don’t look like they were out there playing. Maybe a Sunday.
      The mother in the window with baby Howard was Mary V and Doris’s mother, not mine. I wasn’t born until 1946 🙂
