That looks amazing! I know your vignettes are about life in 1820 but so much resembles my families life in the 1970s. They lived in the mountains of my province and most of them used wood burning cook stoves well into the late 1970s, had wells and a bucket in the corner of the kitchen for pig slops lol. My great grandmother passed in 87 and used a wood burning cook stove the whole time. I still remember the smell of lye soap , using a dipper at the bucket for a drink and the scent of supper cooking while the fire crackled . Feeding my Great Aunties chickens earned a kid a visit to her huge pantry for a molasses or ginger cookie. If she was pleased with us (if we brought in wood for the stove lol) we got 2 cookies! Auntie was considered posh. She had a grand house with 2 floors, a dining room and TWO outhouses! Lmao.

@joannelucille lmao when my parents had a home up on the ridge, we were considered posh because our outhouse had two holes!

@ingc3852 ohh the parties! How I miss the gatherings! All the laughter and music. It was awesome. In summer a big bonfire for the kids to roast hotdogs. The men would sneak moonshine behind the house. The women gossiping. Rule #1 with the wringer washer at our house was - hands away from the rollers!

@daveb5540 The winter wiggle! When you sat in the nice warm house trying to convince yourself you really didnt have to pee and then psyching yourself up to brave that cold cold privy and frost on your butt! I dont know what was worst the frosty benches, or the stink and the wasps in summer.
