Thinking of my Dad and his siblings tonight on a Throwback Thursday.
First came Howard. I like his smile in this picture.
Then came Chester, or Chet as he was known.
Then along came my Dad. Isn’t he so cute with his little hat? Three cute little boys.
Then came Sylvia. No overalls in this picture. They had to dress up for Christmas.
Here are the four siblings many years later.

Here is another poem from my Grandma’s scrapbooks that I illustrated with pictures I have taken.
October
October! October!
There’s magic in the name —-
A clear sky, a blue sky,
And sunsets all aflame.
October! October!
It’s harvest time again;
The high corn, the low corn,
Is gathered in the bin.
October! October!
The birds sing with swelled throats;
A long song, a last song,
Of tender parting notes.
October! October!
The hills are all aglow
With red leaves, with gold leaves,
That dance when soft winds blow.
October! October!
I love you more each year;
Your warm days, your soft days,
To me they are most dear.
