Woman's Work

It has been interesting to see what a woman's life was like in 1880.  I am drawn irresistibly to the old ways of doing things but I also recognize the strenuous physical life that was endured by everyone at the time, men and women alike.  We took over three hundred photos today and I wish I could share others with you but I will end with the following:

There was church to nourish the soul...

and kittens to love...

with fine things to strive for...

and Long Horns for meat on the table...

along with a villain here and there to keep things interesting!
