| Table
with a tin top The table with a tin top, beside the back door, held a bucket of water, a wash basin, and a bar of soap. The soap was made by Ms. Catherine out of waste grease and lye. The gourd dipper above the water bucket recalls Africa where gourds were used for drinking and for storing food. Photo 1999.
