Moving along the road, I ran right into the 1850's! The house was bigger and better constructed.
Life had begun to settle down. The gentleman below was beginning to gather his musket for a little hunting. I found it fascinating that a musket, with powder and ball were always near by. Life was.....unpredictable back then.
And, the lady of the house was busy working, cooking and cleaning.
No washing machines. No dryers except a rope between two trees. People then were strong, smart and self reliant. If you weren't, you didn't survive long.
