As I get older, I do find that I actually do live a much simpler life. Age tends to free you up from wanting everything you see. Glad you liked my sweet pictures - I don't find the artists' names. Things from the twenties and thirties are wonderful.

Sometimes, especially in these kind of photos, a few clouds and 'big sky' are a welcome. She would have had to more than just build on it - she had to IMPROVE it. A dwelling is not sufficient. Perhaps she had access to water for a truck garden.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.com
