For our co-op Indiana History class, we talked about the "Hoosier Poet", James Whitcomb Riley. In class we read "When the Frost is on the Punkin'", "Little Orphant Annie" and a couple of others. Three years ago when I taught Indiana History, we visited Riley's childhood home in Greenfield and really enjoyed the field trip, so of course, we had to revisit. It was a beautiful day, the nicest day of the week, so we were able to eat our lunch at the park.
These flowers were made from Mrs. Riley and her daughters' hair!

What a good looking group of Indiana History students!
If you would like to see more pictures from his childhood home, you can read my previous post from 2008 when we visited before
