Page 42

Friday May 20 1910  Will did a big churning for me.  Then he put in hard work at the yard nearly all day.  We put out tomato plants.  My feet have hurt me so I did not do more than I could help.  I worked at tatting some.  Saturday May 21 1910  I did cake baking and other cooking in the afternoon had dinner so Will went to town at 12.12.  I had a card from Lizzie.  I rested in afternoon.  There was a hard rain about 4 oclock.  Did evening work.  To bed early.  Sunday May 22 1910  We did not get up early and I had work for all the forenoon.  There was extra work with the milk.  I got the cooler down from the garret.  Will heard the Frank Kile who lives about us was found dead in his bed this morning.  I read and wrote some in the afternoon.  It was cloudy and threatened rain all day being much cooler.  Tishie Hedges was here late in the afternoon.  I sold her a hen.  We did not go to church in the evening as I thought we would.
