Living with “Miss Ginny” and candle light and jugs of water is not bad for a few days, after that I might get a little testy.

I can’t imagine being a pioneer woman. I suppose if you didn’t know the difference it would not seem so bad.
But… I know the difference. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to wash the floors or the dishes or the laundry.
The first thing that would have to be done would be to get it out of the well. Then it would all have to be heated by an open fire.
The thought of it is making my back ache.

The whole day would have been consumed by simple tasks. Having a bath once a week I am sure was
welcome but first you would once again had to get the water from the well and then heat it.
I am sure the whole family used the same water. My luck I would have been the last one in.
Not only would the water have been ice cold by now but also a bit on the dirty side.

I am sure the pioneers used a very early form of wind power.
