mother's birthday, a little late

Thanks to Ed for the picture of mother at 7 months. It's a lovely shot. Neither mother nor her mother looks silly or frivolous. Both are waiting for the photographer (imagine John setting up the tripod, checking the light, counting down) to finally push the button.

Note the hairdo, the handknit blanket, the sense of control.

For those of you who are dealing with snow, here's mother at three. A lot of class in that outfit.

Maybe it's time to bring back muffs.
