Wordless Wednesday is a daily
prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which
the main focus is a photograph or image.

| Mary Eleanor Davis about 1933 |
My mother Mary Eleanor Davis (later Slade) probably spent
a lot of time at her grandparents’ home on Sixth Street. After all, she grew up right across the
street.
This is the 9th picture in a series of photos taken with
the Weeping Mulberry at my great-grandparents’ home in Shenandoah,
Virginia.

Sweet! I have some pictures of me taken in front of some sort of bush in my grandma's front yard. I'd forgotten about that. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
You might find a bunch of pictures in front of a bush -- I think it's a universal phenomenon.
DeleteI used to have a copy of this picture in my cube at work. Such a sweet picture.
ReplyDeleteIt is that!
DeleteShe was so lucky. Families are so spread out anymore and few children have the advantage of Grandparents across the street.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. I grew up next door to one set of grandparents. My kids grew up close to one set of grandparents who were very involved in their lives. It's a good way to do things.
DeleteThe mulberry is so large! I think it would be interesting to follow the growth of this bush/tree as told by the ages of the individuals photographed with it. Of course your mom is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI ran across a picture of my mother as a college student in front of that bush, but since it's a close-up, it took me awhile to realize it was the infamous weeping mulberry.
DeleteWendy, I recently got together with three cousins. The four of us are not often together so, naturally, we posed for a picture. We went outside my aunt's house & posed in front of a large flowering bush. As we snapped it I thought of your series of photos!
ReplyDeleteHA -- that's funny. You'll have to ask your aunt for old photos to see if there are others in front of the flowering bush. You can start your own series.
DeleteSuck a cutie! And the bush is sooo big you cannot see any other houses.
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer!
Now that's different -- we usually see the houses across the street.
