Day 3: July 19,1894

No mention of a town or county. Between day 2 & 3 the temp dropped 10•F. I'm sure 92•F was a blessing when you HAVE to wear modest clothing! Many layers of slips, corsets, ankle length skirts and wrist length blouses. The weather was described as "cool and pleasant". She was able to describe the direction of the wind (north). We city slickers lack that ability. 

They were greeted by two men in the evening. Laura and Mrs. Cooley went to a farm to buy milk. Wow. The comment on the children and pigs! "They looked a good deal alike."

Laura described the groves of trees they saw. She described her breakfast but not dinner. Did they take their hens with them?
