I love your photographs Tom. I enlarge them on my cell phone and attempt to place myself in them. For instance; I was the little boy on the bottom left of the third picture sitting in the mother in law seat peering back at the photographer 😁

That MIL roadster with the boy in back bugs me. It does appear to be a model T Ford, left side driven, sidelamp looks right. The front fender would indicate a 1909 or 1910 model. The front fender looks like it could be gray? The standard color for the first 3/4s of 1909 (roughly speaking?) was gray for the roadsters.
However, the seat does not appear to be gray. I don't think red was ever used for the MIL roadsters (correct me if I am wrong!). Green, or more likely even dark blue are likely colors for that car? But that front fender doesn't appear to be that dark.
I have seen country cars so coated in road dust that most of the car looked gray in photos. Perhaps the fender is covered in such dust?
More wonderful photos! Thank you again Tom R!
