Fun On The Farm Rednesday

(Please visit Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for more Rednesday fun!)

Wishing everyone a lovely Rednesday!

This Rednesday I'm sharing a book with you that belonged to my uncle when he was a little boy. The book is entitled "Fun On The Farm" by John Y. Beaty, published in 1933. It's pretty beat up, so I gather it was much loved by my uncle and by his siblings that followed.

Isn't the bookplate darling? I love that he signed his name. Is it just me or does the cottage and flowers make one think of Mary Englebreit?!

It's full of the most charming photos ...

(The text reads "One day Grandma let Frances play with some baby chicks. You can see these chicks were not afraid, no matter where Frances put them.)

(Now that's car pooling!)

(Another cute caption, "Hugh Prentice Aikman and his Jersey calf are both happy. You can easily tell why. The calf is getting his supper and Hugh is getting his picture taken.")
