“Back [?] porches of a series of identical houses. Bound Brook, New Jersey,” February 1936, by Carl Mydans, via Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
The winter of 1935/1936 was one of the coldest of that decade in North America. And the following summer brought the infamous 1936 heat wave.
Carl Mydans was working for the U.S. Resettlement Administration when he took this picture. Shortly afterwards, he was hired by Life and is probably best remembered today for his war photography for the magazine.
February, month of despair,
with a skewered heart in the centre.— Margaret Atwood, from “February“

Great image and even better poem!
Thanks! I hope you are not despairing too much these days. March comes this weekend!
