Nothing like a warm bath to thaw the mind and body after a long winter's day out on the farm. For Lillie and her siblings, however, drawing a bath took more than simply turning a knob...
Back out into the cold they went, hauling bucket after bucket of water from the spigot to fill the giant, thirty-gallon copper boiler. Three smaller barrels were filled for the rinse. Sometimes, they'd even have to melt snow if the pump was frozen over.
Just imagine how nice it must have felt to soak after all that!
