I am currently reading “‘Another Domestic Beast of Burden’: New England Farm Women’s Work and Well-Being in the 19th Century“. The author, Linda Borish, brings together several descriptions of farm women’s daily life and chores. From kindling a fire to laying soot on raspberries to pounding potatoes for the hogs, she gives us a hint of what went into a woman’s day in the first half of the 19th century.
My challenge to each of my friends and readers who are interpreters, reenactors or just want a writing challenge….

I will work on my response and share below. Either add your day in the comments below or give us a link to it.
