The old homestead.

I have a bunch of cousins in Ireland. We’ve met in the decades-old past. We’ve had eachother’s addresses tucked away. But I’ve recently connected with them on some internet chat platforms, which has been a much more lively, and quite lovely, connection.

One of my cousins, on my father’s side, posted a photo of an undated aerial photo that was taken of the family farm and homestead from the late 1950’s or early 1960’s. This is where my dad grew up, in County Limerick. The house is on the left. The farm buildings on the right.

You can see workmen on ladders in front of the house, and some other people walking between the buildings. My dad had emigrated to the States by then. But I wonder if my grandfather and or uncles are some of those people…
