Garden Inspection


Kaunas, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, March 1961. A friend of Tatjana (my paternal Grandmother) sent this photo. The friend wrote, "I'm finally checking the garden and flower beds at winter's end. My husband is still asleep, and the tulips already are waking up from the ground, readying for a new life."

The late 1950s and early 1960s still were pretty bad.

Doubtless, but I was thinking of a comparison with the war years

You are correct.
