I remember learning about a few years back. I hope we cover it somewhat this year in American History (I had to take WA State History last year, 7th Grade). Such hard times, I found it really interesting. I think we learned some about it in 6th grade science class too...
Beautiful picture by the way~ Really fits. It really does.

No problem!
Yeah, it was interesting, but it was, towards the end of it, mainly about goverment. We learned about Native History, Climate, and a bit farther into the history of WA as well.

I remembered learning about the Dust Bowl a long time ago, a shame not a lot
of people know about it. It was quite devastating.
This is very well done. From the pictures I have seen from it, I think you captured it very well~

I think you should like this one- the tones are just perfect and she looks dead on her feet. Very fitting song as well.

Alas, the genre has been hijacked by uber right wing nuts and pop stars.
I still like a lot of the older stuff though.

I do too, people like Wille Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Guy Clark, and I can't say no to Johnny Cash.

Haha, I really don't think you can actually dislike Johnny Cash!

X'D Yes, it is exceptionally cruel of whoever put that sign there!
Yeah, they didn't want to give in, but God that must have been really rough. (Well, it is black....it just looks like a music case to me. ^^''')

I have a lot of respect for older ladies. Like...they don't take shit from anyone. They're all "I can do it myself." I remember that my great-aunt filled her entire cellar with preserved fruit in jars...my cousins and I went down there once and it was kinda scary. She was so old that she couldn't use the stairs anymore, so we were pretty sure that some of the stuff had been down there for decades. Pretty sure that stuff could survive a nuclear holocaust.

That's one thing I don't know much about, is the Dust Bowl. She looks like the walking dead, but man did you do a good job on this.

It was a quick blurb about the dust bowl with us. Then full blown Great Depression. We don't have classes on Pennsylvania history (only as college history courses. Which I really wanna go to Community College and take. But since researching PA on my own...I pretty much know the stuff already), and it isn't a requirement to learn about the state in a class just for that. But, our history classes did focus a lot on Philadelphia history, especially during colonial times and the revolution. I guess since our backyard is full of the country's early history, why not teach us about it? Though I noticed all through school, no matter what period of time it was in US history, there was always heavy emphases on Pennsylvania (especially when it came to contributions in wars and innovations/inventions and such). So in a sense yes...they did teach us a lot about our state.
Yes yes, we need to give her a nice hot meal! :<
