Greetings 
front the May’s 
from their back yard 
This picture was taken in 
our own back yard. Fran¬ 
ces, our daughter, is looking 
at the water lily and Ed¬ 
ward is holding a turtle in 
his left hand—just picked 
it out of the lily pool. Mrs. 
May is particularly fond of 
water lilies. 
It’s surprising what the 
barberry hedge, shrubs, pool 
and nice grass do to make 
the back yard so attractive. 
Makes a pleasant place to sit 
and rest and enjoy our¬ 
selves. I hope you folks will 
fix up your back yard the 
same way. It doesn’t cost 
much to do it.
