She worked the farm from before sunrise til after dark - meals, gardening, farm animals, cooking, sewing, etc. And Jules was out roaming, talking with other men, killing a rabbet or two and coming home to 'his' farm and to all the stuff his wife had done during the day. (I kinda doubt she dressed as nicely as the Youtuber.)<br /><br />My other thought, these days I'm really glad there's Chinese/Thai/Mexican/American take-out.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
