The woman in the picture below is a vision of serenity. Modest and beautiful. I noticed she is wearing a cardigan sweater, something you don`t see often today.
My sweaters were pastel pinks and blues with shell or pearl buttons. In the 50`s and early 60`s the "big girls" in high school wore their cardigans backwards, buttoned up the back. Some were embroidered (the sweaters, not the girls), others were decorated with rhinestones or pearls. Sweater guards kept your sweater secure if you draped your sweater across the shoulders.

Lastly, this is acreage in the area of the wildfire near Williams. The kids just bought it and I hope it still looks this way. Families were evacuated yesterday. It`s dry and windy here in northern Arizona and fire spreads very fast.
