Monday....laundry day

 I sure would have hated Mondays....first all the water necessary for the washing and rinsing of the clothes came from the pump. That poor young lady must be thankful for her washer and dryer when she gets home. The water is heated over the fire pit and then dumped into the laundry tubs then it's scrub a' dub on the wash board then hung on the line to dry. What about winter or a rainy day?
Wow, we take so much for granted.







 Farmhouse   
 I did take many pictures of the inside of the farmhouse but I'm not happy with how they came out so chose not to post them. It was very nice in there except for the kitchen....the cast iron stove was going and it was so hot in there. Two ladies that were getting the mid-day meal ready were in long sleeves and long dresses. I was kidding them about air conditioning. The picutre above is the side door that goes directly into the kitchen and the front door opens into the parlour.
The view was quite nice from the front porch and the train tracks were not far away.
