A Perfect Day For
Grandma
Grandmother, on a winter’s day, njjljced the cows, and fed them hay, slopped the hogs, saddled the mule, and got the children off to school; did a washing, mopped the floors, washed the windows, and did some chores; cooked a dish of home-dried fruit, pressed her husband’s Sunday suit, swept the parlor, made the bed, baked a dozen loaves of bread, split some firewood and lugged in, enough to fill the kitchen bin; cleaned the lamps and put in oil, stewed some * apples she thought would spoil; churned the butter, baked a cake, then exclaimed, “For heaven’s sake, the calves have got out of the pen”— went out and chased them in again; gathered the eggs and locked the stahle, back to the hpuse and set the table; cooked a supper that was delicious, and afterward washed up all the dishes; fed the cat and sprinkled the clothes, mended a basketful of hose; then opened the organ and began to play, "When you come to the end of a perfect day.”
