QUOTE: What a blessing it is that even in this age of
efficiency there are still some small, inexacting household
chores that have to be done by hand. In moments of sudden
deep grief, or the overburden of anxiety, or unbearable joy,
such simple things as pressing a pan of cooked apples though
a sieve or sweeping a kitchen floor, or making up a bed with
fresh, clean sheets, can be genuinely steadying. Somewhere I
want to keep a few unimportant hand chores, so that I can
get them out in times of need, like the candles kept in the
buffet drawyer for the infrequent but inevitable times when
the electric current fails. ~ Rural Free: A Farmwife's
