Drusilla is enjoying her day off from school by sledding with her doggie pal.

It has been a quiet winter here for storms so I'm glad Drusilla got a chance to get out and enjoy the snow while it lasts. Best part is we all got a snow day and school/work was cancelled!

One of the twins sits on the wicker settee by the window in the old Victorian house. She is always watching and waiting.

Blythe a Day - Haunted House - 10/18/23

I took 2 separate photos and combined them for this prompt. The background is Grant's Cottage in Upstate NY. It is where President Grant spent his last few months and died in 1885. We visited a few summers ago and I took this photo. I added an image I took of my Daunting Drusilla doll using Paint 3D and then added the bats, rat, and candle in BeFunky.

Doll: Daunting Drusilla Blythe

Apron: made by me

It is 1909 and the women garment workers have had enough! They have left their sewing machines in the deplorable shirtwaist factories of New York City and have taken to the the picket lines to demand better conditions and fair practices. About 20,000 women joined the picket lines.

They are objecting to:

65 hour workweeks (they want it reduced to 52 hours),

Low wages (they want a 20% increase and overtime pay),

Being required to provide their own needles and thread,

Dangerous working conditions (In 1911, 146 garment workers - mostly immigrant girls age 14-23 - died in a factory fire in NYC),

Unfair fines

March of 20,000
