Hate to clean? I do too, but don't you just love the feeling of a clean house? Even though I hate cleaning, I love the end result-and so does my family. Cleaning is just one of those things we have to do. You know, we have it so much easier than our grandparents and great-grandparents did back in the day. This photo was taken circa 1910. My great-grandma Mabel is on the far right holding the wash basin. They used to have to run water to fill the basin outside (see the hose?), then heat it up inside over a stove, and once it was hot they washed by hand and/or washboard then hung it out to dry outside. Much easier than our washer & dryers of today...helps to keep our chores in perspective-especially when it feels like we have too much to do.
Welcome to my musings! I'll be posting photos and ideas as I come across them-relating to home, garden and crafting. Enjoy!
