"... put up a parking lot. Dooo, do, do, do, do." So ends of one of Joni Mitchell's songs, and so ended this yard.
This tired exterior belied the warm interior of Jill & Cole's great-grandfather's home, which he shared with their Great-Aunt Lillian. Julius Pelser was a snowy-haired, quiet and kind gentleman. I have a portrait or two of him, which I'll post in future. He was one of Winkler Manitoba's earliest barbers, a trade which he shared and passed on to the kids' grandfather, Leonard (see Old Photo #11).
