A Woman, A day
"The sun has finally set and I will soon put the children to bed. I would love to help you in the fields but the heat has made me tired and this soon to be born baby has me worried. I am needed in the home tomorrow and on the other days. Soon our dear Louisa will be able to help me prepare for Winter. The harvest will be good this year, and we will sleep more soundly. It is in God's hands!"
