Page 44

Thursday May 26 1910  I cleaned up at the south door where my little chickens has been.  Will took me down home in the afternoon.  Stopped to see Emily [Bremer?] at Fannies  I was helping Hattie a little with the chickens I took down 12 to her.  Came home to do evening work.  Friday May 27 1910  Will & I fixed the garden fence this morning so the little chickens could not get in.  Will was going to town in the afternoon so I wet down home awhile  Mother seems so much better.  Hattie to town awhile.  Saturday May 28 1910  We found "Lady" had a little mule when we got up this morning.  I helped Will do some work in the chicken house before I did baking of cake &c.  We went to town at 1.12.  I am home later.  I was up to Mrs Sterlings to a committee meeting of Elder Daughters.  I rode down town with Mrs Carson.  I had intended to stay to the May Day Fete at the Park but a heavy rain put a stop to it.  I came home at 5.30.  Did evening work and went to bed early.  Very tired.
