Opening the Gate

Me at the front yard gate, 1957

"Let me arise and open the gate, to breathe
the wild warm air of the heath,

Mom & Dad beneath the Heavenly Blue morning glories at Grandpa & Grandma Ridnour's, late 1940's; early 1950's

And to let in Love, and to let out Hate,
And anger at living and scorn of Fate,

Dad and Mom 1959 Backyard gate to the barnyard open at the right middle of the photo. 

To let in Life, and to let out Death." (Violet Fane)
