Sepia Saturday 522 : 30 May 2020


We have to stay at home. We have to socially distance, we have to stay safe - so what on earth can we possibly do? We can go out and dig the garden, that's what we can do. Dig a big hole and plant something that will, one day, grow tall, strong and beautiful. And if you don't have a garden, or if it is raining - there is an alternative: you can search out your old photographs that may link - in some way or another - to this theme image, and share them. Share them on or around Saturday 30th May 2020 and add a link to the list below.

And whilst taking a rest from harvesting your special old photographs, why not take a look at what crops are around the corner. Here are the next two Sepia Saturday prompt images.

Sometimes you have only a few photos to share regarding the prompt. Sometimes you have a LOT! :)

Digging for victory is my theme, whether it is my husband clearing a muck heap, my father enjoying the challenge of growing his own vegetables and fruit,or the World War Land Girls - with a fascinating interview with a former land girl in the Scottis Borders in WW2. .

I enjoyed this theme. I think I may have posted on this once before, but too long ago to remember clearly.

A bit that I thought needed to be said...my own opinion of course. How people treat people who are different than they are.

This weekend I have three non-musical postcards from 1915 that relate to digging with a shovel.

I used some of the photos for Sepia Saturday in 2013, but I learned more since then.

I had no idea how hard it would be to find a family photo with a shovel.

I didn't have any planting or gardening photos, so I opted for playing in the dirt.

Renovating the front and backyard of a newly purchased house in the 1960s. I don't remember anyone hiring a landscape gardener in those days. It was all DYI and lots of digging.

It too far too long for the shovel to drop with me.

It's been a month since I posted because I got lost in researching my grandfather, Mershell Graham. Last night I found a photo of him standing in his garden in 1946 and this morning I saw the prompt and decided to post it, even though there is no shovel involved.
