Time on Our Hands: Bare Feet

Lots of bare feet in this photo.  The original is very small so this one is kind of blurry.  It started out at only 3 1/2 by 3 1/4 so you see my problem.  I  love it but have to use a magnifying glass to see details.  

There's a batch of 6 or 7 little boys in the front that are just adorable and look so tickled with themselves and this new adventure.  Hands in pockets, grins in place.  I have a feeling there might be a frog in one of those pockets, don't you?  

On second thought, the boys might have been told to put those hands in their pockets just to avoid the mischief that tempted them while standing still on the steps.  Even the bigger boys are doing it.  Hands all around in overall pockets.

With the girls it's dresses, smiles and high button shoes or, for even some of the girls, a simple bare foot look if all she's doing is going to school.  

It's a sunny day.  The school yard is dirt, but the children all look well fed, clean and happy.  I see some spunk in this group.  The teacher (is that her up there in the left corner?) probably has her hands full with the fun-seekers but I'll bet her days are rewarding with so many happy children to spend each day with.  

I wish I knew when this was, where it was.  Would love to hear the stories of this class.
