Quenching Your Thirst the Colonial Way, Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia
There are many things we take for granted each day; like quenching our thirst. In colonial times, you just couldn't reach into your refrigerator and grab a Deer Park or turn on the faucet and have a drink, You had to go out to the well and fetch a pail of water just to have a sip. Here, some properly costumed young ladies prepare to help the gentleman fill his pails. That'll work up a thirst.

What a wonderful moment in time, life gathered around its source. Just before summer, a very fitting picture. Please have a nice Sunday.

I remember fetching water at my great grandparents farm. Indeed, it did make one thirsty, but oh the water did taste good!! Thanks for the memories! Cathy
I love visiting your blog and one of my favorite places. Brings back nice memories that I'd like to add to!
Wonderful picture
And makes that drink all the more worthwhile and valuable.
This is an adorable photo of those two little girls :o)
