Kaunas, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, January 6, 1959. My Mom's maternal Aunt, Dora—you remember Dora—stands in the snowy yard. Dora lived until she died in the home my Mom's Parents built.
On the back of this photo, Dora wrote, "Here I am in the garden. This is how our yard now looks. We really should plant some small trees. I've already planted about five currant bushes. They would be on the left side of where I stand. This year, our trees produced large fruit." It's touching that she writes about planting on the back of a wintery snapshot.
