I found this picture of two little cowboys and their red wagons---the McLean brothers back in the 40's or 50's. It is as close as I can get to the theme of this week's SepiaSaturday. I got the picture from Our Miramichi Heritage Photos site. The reason I know those wagons were red, my brother had one just like it. Why don't you saunter on down to www.sepiasaturday.blogspot.com for more darling pictures.
What a cute picture. Little girls are sweet, but somehow little boys just steal your heart away!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, and your description reminded me of that old children's song that goes "bumping up and down in my little red wagon, won't you be my darling" :-)
ReplyDeleteThose were great wagons. A wagon was an absolute MUST for imaginative play, so versatile.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have a horse, you just use a wagon -- the sentiment is the same, I think!
ReplyDeleteCute photo. I guess red was the traditional color for toy wagons--I can't remember seeing any in a different color.
ReplyDeleteYou could do a lot of pretending about the cowboy life with a wagon.
ReplyDeletePerfect for today, with the hats those must be chuck wagons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure that heritage site is; this is the perfect answer to the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who had to be the horse!
ReplyDeleteThose two little cowboys look like they were contemplating something very seriously!
ReplyDeleteOh all the wagons were red, maybe that's the only color paint around back then... they could be two little farmers taking a break from chores, too.
ReplyDeleteCute photo!
