And we’re back …

Sorry for the hiatus. It’s annoying when too much work gets in the way of the really important things in life, namely, Buller Time. A brief photograph-based post to get us back on track …

The photo shows, of course, the entire family (left to right): Grandpa and Grandma in back; Matilda, Daniel, and Esther in front of them; then Wayne, Carl, and Darlene; and, finally, Alma and Ruth in front. Looking closely a little behind Darlene, you can also see either the back end of a fluffy-tailed white dog or perhaps a chicken bent over eating. Even further in the background is a white dog with a dark face standing and looking at the family.

The photograph was taken in front of the Lushton farmhouse, probably in 1940 (since Alma looks to be two or so). Referring to the photograph below, the picture was taken roughly where the arrow starts and faces the direction of the arrow.

Thanks to Dad and Suely for providing a scan of the family photo above, as well as a number of others that will make their way to Buller Time over the coming days.
