It's that Little League time of the year. Time to play ball after school and on weekends. Nowadays, Little League has been augmented by soccer. But way back in the time of raising our kids, Little League (and T-Ball to a certain extent) was the name of the game.
Left to right: Cousins Jason, Lee, Ben, and Will. Lee is enjoying a lollipop. Willie (his childhood moniker) is putting the bunny-ears on Ben. Jason wears his ever famous smile-that-warms-every-heart.
Ephemera in the photo Will's athletic shoes look new; teams are sponsored by Pigeon Rotary, Pigeon Lions, and Shetler Plumbing. From the daisies on the right behind Will and the peonies on the left behind Jason, this is probably late May or early June. The quartet is perched on the old redwood bench that came from John and Pauline Eichler's to Graywood Farm as a part of a picnic set of table and two benches. Elaine Yackle Weidman sold redwood furniture and I believe that this bench is part of a set that Elaine sold to them. Mystery question: what is on the ground next to Will's left foot?
