Elephant's Picture Book 
I think 1904 was probably the peak of civilization.
Why?
Elephant
I actually meant American civilization. It was before we became a super power, we we’re foolishly optimistic and naive and women’s fashion hadn’t yet gone down the tube. Look at that girl’s dress–spectacular.
I was just curious. I can see that as a viable date. I don’t have a very good idea when I think civilization peaked – I think we did, but I am not so clear about when that happened. You know I like modern comforts, but I don’t think they were worth what we did and do pay for them.
I hope you had a nice Sunday!

I had an extremely nice Sunday. We were invited over for lunch at a kindly old couple’s house with another couple. It was like being in one of your illustrations.
I only said US civilization peaked in that particular year because the illustration was from that year on your post, though I too have a vague sense that the US peaked around then, but what do I know?
I hope your Sunday was especially nice, too.

Looks like they’re preparing for LOTS of rain! I love rainy days. We don’t get enough of them.
It does look as if a serious piece of weather is on the way. I hope you get more rainy days this year!

I would like to be in the room with them looking out!

Fall is my favorite time of year. This illustration says it all for me!
I am glad you like it Claudia – I think the illustration shows a feel for fall! I like fall best – it does all the things for me that spring is supposed to do!

This is what children did before TV and video games; looks pretty good to me 🙂
Maybe kids today can have it all TV, games and windows!
Elephant
Oh yes, that is also good. What a lot of goodness there is 🙂
That’s cute.
The weather or the illustration!
Thanks,
Elephant
I know it is the illustration!
Thanks for looking around,
Elephant
