As children we are disposed to take what an adult says as given. As teens we adopt whatever is in the air in our need to belong. As young adults we are so busy 'living' that it takes something shocking to get us to think and adjust. Been working on change. Still working on it.

A lot of those farm women in the pictures are wearing their daily work clothes -- gardening, milking, feeding the chickens, washing, cleaning and preparing food can be dirty, messy business. Perhaps, at this distance, we can't distinguish "poor" from hard working and thrifty. Suzanne Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387297696390711279noreply@blogger.com
