Autumn loved to take naps. Sometimes she put her foot up over her eyes like this. I feel like I need a snooze. What better time to do it than right now. Winter is coming. I will take a break from blogging and get caught up with my mind. Happy holidays. I will be back now and then and may drop in on you from time to time. Stay warm.
Hang on to those photographs. This one was discovered in a photo album in the middle of a large city dump. A scavenger digging for treasures saw the wind whipping pages – investigated and found this album filled with treasures – photographs taken in Japan by a family named, “Turner.” He scooped it up, took it home and stored it in his attic where it was found by his daughter. She sent the photos to me for my Japanese web site. Do you know where your treasures are?
This is my entertaining squirrel feeder. If you click the little arrow at the bottom of the post below, the video will show you how it works. The arrow in the center of the video does not make it work.
Erle Howery worked for the Stars and Stripes newspaper while he was in Japan and you can tell it when you look at some of the subjects he photographed. This little boy, as poor as they were at that time, has made himself all the things he needs to play school. From a blackboard to a desk and chair. And he has a book. You couldn’t ask for more than this in those years.
It is a timeless story of children using their imagination. Unfortunately, these days, parents would buy the blackboard, desk, table, chair and get some real chalk and a book. Parents have robbed them of that creativeness and imagination we all had once upon a time. There are many stories like this in my blog, Sendai-shi; located at http://sendai-shi.blogspot.com/ .
