Good Housekeeping 1903 Edition
If I should follow the rules of the fine housekeeper, it's time to clean the pantry.
I have also been told that I am to make up my mind in the beginning where to lay the knives. I do have a drawer for that as well......so far so good.
And more work to be done........
And all of the pantry shelves must be wiped and dusted.....now that's almost reason enough to stop collecting......but not quiet!
And more dishes to wash and more shelves to clean and I have only just started....Looks as if the spring cleaning of the pantry will carry into next week.

The Old Country House
This house, which once belonged to my grandparents, soothes my soul. It brings about the tranquility of a peaceful place in the country....far removed from the fray of city life. Ahh, the joys of this old country house.
Down the road I hear the hum of a tractor, a cow in a distant pasture and the buzz of a bumble bee. I feel blessed to be living in this peaceful, breeze-swept house in the country where generations of my family spun out their summers under the maple and oak trees.
Years of travel and collecting have created an eclectic mix of much loved pieces.
Food For Thought.
