Around the Block

I rode my bike up the road yesterday and passed the old house where Tillie and Leona,  two sisters, married to two brothers,  raised their families together during the Great Depression.  At one time,  I've been told, that 27 people lived together in this house. Those were hard times. 

Now the poppies and the bleeding heart are putting on their show for an empty house.

Less lonely with blooming flowers, what if they could talk?

27 people in one house! I think there was an addition to the house since then, too. Must have been crazy in there in the winter....
