I know he's only shy of Mr. Vachon, but in my mind, the boy is hiding from a female who has come right up into the yard to pursue him -- for whatever reason. The big sisters have arranged themselves into a formidable barrier, but the hunted male cannot help taking a furtive peek from behind their skirts at his would-be nemesis. If the uninvited had any sense, after seeing the looks on the faces of her prey's womenfolk, she'd be two counties away by the time the girls -- especially that little one -- stepped down out of the doorway to take care of business.

I love the little cactus patch on her apron. Sure hope these kids found their way to a better life before long.

You won't be able to hide behind your sister forever, buddy! Uncle Sam's going to need you soon--probably in Korea. You look a little too young to go to Germany or Japan just yet!

If you look at the feet there appears to be three people standing in the doorway. The third is wearing shoes and pants. But only two girls appear above the knee.

Two girls and six legs. If you look closely you can see little brother peeking out under Sister's arm.

I wonder why he's hiding?

My mother said: modest clothes, but clean clothes.
