1915 Housekeeper's Diary: March

This month's household wisdom from Flora Klickmann's 1915 book The Mistress of the Little House (previous posts here, here and here).

March

The main thing I took away from this was that it reads like a love letter to March!
For example:

  • "March is the month when life is stirring and awakening on every side."

  • "Open the windows, let in all the sun and air you can... the air on a bright March day is life-giving."

Other than that, there is a lot of advice for keeping the house free of fleas and mice - thank goodness this is isn't really a big problem for us these days!
