They had to be away from home checking on their cattle on the ranges while the women did the chores, etc. at home. It took both partners a heck of a lot of effort to subdue the land they homesteaded and to get along without any electricity or running water. I thought the only thing the women didn't have to do the Anasazi Indians did was grind corn! Then they had to try to keep up with town folks with electricty, show it could be done.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749424911811197625.post-83882530863837246752010-07-26T15:43:11.672-07:002010-07-26T15:43:11.672-07:00Great poem!
