My Scorpio Grandmother had a Beautiful row of red-leafed plum bushes, that grew at the basement-level story of the foundation of the early 1900 house that my grandfather built.
The room used as the dining place had a separate cubby that had the kitchen appliances of a Frigidaire (and also had an Admiral?) refrigerator. Her electric stove had 5 burners and a depression for a large pot to be inserted (like Crockpot cooking today). Part of the range had a see-through area with shelves for pies? This was separate from the baking-oven itself.
I remember the little windows she'd open, even in winter, next to the stove area, where she would place 'pies' for cooling.
There was a small vestibule/mud-room when you'd enter the house itself. That enclosed and windowed gallery-space was cold enough to keep milk fresh during the colder harsher winter months up in the atlantic northeast states.
There were 3 tremendous GORGEOUS double-hung stained-shellacked wood windows, that let the Sun in for a good portion of the day. The red-leafed plum bush-trees(?) tops reached the sill of the windows.
She had a huge maple further out in the yard on the lawn. They used to tap it to make maple syrup ... Little metal pail. A shunt driven into the tree trunk. They boiled and boiled that collected liquid in the basement-type area underneath the house.
I even remember the old woodstove down there, and the rollers of the wringer washer she still used even after the automatics were invented. ... Used to hang the laundry out on a pulley-system double clothesline that stretched from the house to the barn. The clothes would get frozen stiff during the winters. She'd bring them in and lay them on top of the old steam-hot-water caste-iron radiators to dry them. ... I loved those radiators!! Warm, etched with pretty designs, sometimes made scary sounds, and were just overall curious and interesting to this little gemmy!!
The furnace she used was of course located in that basement area underneath the house. There was a big grate in the dining kitchen area that would allow the heat to rise up to the first-story level. Central heating?? LOL. ... Don't recall if they used coal? They probably did? ...
We weren't 'country folk' at all. My grandma was into Lawrence Welk!, polka music, and the French-Canadian Quadrilles. Oh! AND music from The Carpenters (Karen Carpenter was our 'shared' love-tie).
I'm not remembering some of the other types of songs she was into... I guess our ways had parted by then.
This is a John Denver song... Many of his songs had very deep meanings-- a tie to the land, the celebration of being among good friends, and appreciation for the earth.

lyrics to the song-hymn (NOT sung in above url)
For the Beauty of the Earth (Dix)
1 For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
2 For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
{Refrain} {OR *looking*, Let it out with Joy!! }
3 For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
{Refrain, OR not}
4 For the Joy of Human Love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
{Refrain, or NOT}
5 For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.
{Refrain, or not?}
6 For the martyrs’ crown of light,
For Thy prophets’ eagle eye,
For Thy bold confessors’ might,
For the lips of infancy.
{Refrain, or not!}
7 For Thy virgins’ robes of snow,
For Thy maiden mother mild,
For Thyself, with hearts aglow,
Jesu, Victim undefiled.
{Refrain, or not!}
8 For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven.
Found this interesting tip about using Epsom Salts in gardening.
