At the end of a perfect day

If you labor under the misconception that you had a hard day, read about Grandmother's ordinary day ... and count your blessings

Grandmother, on a winter’s day, milked the cows,
slopped the hogs, 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 it 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 goodness’ sake,
the calves have got out of the pen,”
and went out and chased them in again;
gathered the eggs and locked the stable,
back to the house 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.
