I love photos with Kermit in them. Here we have him and Maye in Adeline outside their mother, Lydia’s house. I would estimate that it is the late 40’s to early 1950’s. The kodachrome photos we have of Isaac with Lydia seem to be a bit older and the date on them is 1952. 

At any rate, there’s lots to focus on in this photo, so let’s begin. My eye is first drawn to their hands. They hold the hands similarly but with different hands on the top. And i wonder what Maye has in her hands. Then I look at her cute outfit with a pin at the neck and cute snap pumps. I think they are open-toed, but I can’t be sure. And finishing off her look is the cute hat that sits back on the top of her head. 

Complementing Lydia’s look is her brother Kermit, who is smartly dressed in a suit and tie with nice dress shoes. The only thing that’s missing is a hat.  Men have it so much easier when dressing up. What’s not missing is the traces of snow. My yard looks precisely like this currently. But it must not be too cold as they are taking the photo without coats. 

Of her four children, Maye and Kermit were the only of Lydia’s children who lived close to her. So I’m sure this photo is to commemorate a holiday, birthday, or special gathering when they were able to gather as a family and be together.
