Here are a couple of houses.

Here are a group of children that either lived in the houses, or were visiting them.

If you know the kids, or the houses, please contact me.

Here is a little house in the woods.

The sandy soil tells me this is from Wexford County or vicinity. For those who don’t know, when most recent glacier receded, the result was the sandy, stony, non-productive land that now exists in that area. This landscape actually has a name, “outwash plain“.

I am fascinated by this photo, which shoes three women in interesting outfits. Papa says that is no ordinary wagon. I see buckets, and wonder if the ladies were going to pick berries.
