Rabbits explanation

On the first photo below, one can see a global view of my youth home. The blue X indicates the place where there were rabbits. These rabbits were bred by mother's mother who lived in the house. When a rabbit was killed and eaten, the fur was kept, dried and sold to a man passing in the street. Just after World War II, a time when goods were missing in all domains, these furs returned in our home after preparation for clothes usage. And mother, who had good skill in sewing, made winter coats with them.

The three other photos were taken during the usual Sunday afternoon walk. I am with sister and brother J.

Note that the additional chimney through the window indicates that the first photo was taken some years after the three other ones, more precisely after the middle of years fifty when an oil-stove was installed in the corridor.
