The illustration below was from a series put out by the National Dairy Council in 1947. The accompanying text reads "Playing out-of-doors keeps children strong and healthy and makes them feel good all over."
Now, if Mother Nature will just bring us some cooler weather for fall, I will be happy, and I will feel good all over.
Me too, happy, healthy, and good all over. Lovely illustrations. Love T
ReplyDeleteyou have had a hot summer - we have not so now i am hoping for a wonder indian summer-beautiful days and great sleeping weather - so far so good!
ReplyDeleteIt SURE WOULD be nice if it actually felt like Autumn, here in California! I want it to be chilly enough to wear Fall clothing, and to be able to walk outside smelling that cozy fire-burning scent in the air...
ReplyDeleteHeck, who am I kidding?! I've lived in California most of my life. We might ever have 2 or 3 days, tops, of weather somewhat resembling seasons other than Summer! At this point, I'd just be happy for a rainy day.
Great illustrations! There is such innocence and playfulness portrayed in them. And, of course, the colors capture the season perfectly.
P.S. - I must clarify.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the part of my previous comment where I said something about wanting to smell that "fire-burning scent in the air", I have since seen on the news that we have wildfires raging in the hills, again. By NO means, was I referring to THAT! I was talking about fires burning in their proper designated location: a fireplace.
That is all. I just didn't want anyone thinking that I was a callous jerk. :)
Oh, Anthony- I'm sure no one thought that! We probably have some cooler weather up here than you do, but
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you about wanting to wear fall clothing and feel a nip in the air and all that! I want it NOW.
Hurry Autumn, hurry fast.
