We had our first outdoor dinner of the new year out back last night. It was so nice to hear everyone laughing under the stars again, and putting up with the chill.
And I was informed last night (by a wise friend with an amazing eye for old things) that this little light we have used for years on the backyard table (which we found under the house 10 years ago now), is actually a 20's era railroad lantern. Made by the Adams & Westlake Co. I'd never bothered to look at it in much detail after all these years, and as always wonder more as to how it ended up under our house covered in bones.
