Anna with her brothers and cousins eating watermelon.
I am not sure who’s who. I think Anna is the little girl looking to the right and her first cousin Martha is the other little girl. I also think the three boys with hats on are her three brothers. The other three boys would be her first cousins Franklin, his brother James, and another 1st cousin Earl.
As a boy i once took the watermelon seeds and tried to plant them....this was when i was maybe 6 or 7. I dug a little hole- maybe two or three near the steps in our rural yard and Ma and pa had a laugh.....just a few weeks later- viola!....little melons sprang along the ground.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a memory. We ate them later.....the silence of the melons....
I remember planting watermelon seeds too. And the little fat green vine with one leaf coming out of the earth. It didn't grow as big as I wanted it - I am not sure we ate it, it might have gone bad some how.
