Summer of 1961

Let's time travel back to the summer of 1961.  My father was 14 and he began this collection of butterflies for a 4-H project he entered in the county fair.

Dad started this collection and having been time worn and faded, my sons and I have added to it in the last few years.

This is the stuff of summer when you raise three boys.  In tribute to my Dad, my summer mantel.  

I will join Layla for at The Lettered Cottage for her Summer Mantel party. 

And, Time Travel Thursday at Brambleberry Cottage.
