Photo Post #22 | Manny Baker and his garden

As a child my family travelled to Nova Scotia each summer to visit my Grandad Alan Mills. One of the highlights of our trips was always a visit with Manny Baker.

Manny was my Mom’s first cousin. His mother Edna (Power) Baker (I always knew her as Aunt Poode) and my Nan Rose (Power) Mills were sisters. He lived in what can only be described as a parklike setting on Baker’s Point in East Jeddore.

I was absolutely in awe at Manny’s property. There were ducks, geese, chickens, flowers, and fruit trees galore. Manny was also a genealogist and was a bit of an inspiration to me to get into this hobby.

So, this week I want to share pictures I came across in one of Nan’s photo albums of Manny and his wonderful “park.”
