Page 47

Saturday June 4 1910  We had a busy forenoon.  Will ground feed for chickens  He got up real early to see a man who bought a home out from town.  I picked strawberries and churned.  It looked like rain but we went down home in the afternoon  I took the folks some strawberries.  We hurried home to escape a rain.  It was so cold Will built a fire in the furnace.  I was tired so went to bed early  Sunday June 5 1910  It was pleasant so I hurried through the work and Will & I went down home for my hat.  I went with Cora to church.  Rob and * did not stay for the finish of exercises.  Will was [illegible] at the store for me.  I got our dinner and did some reading & writing.  Monday June 6 1910.  Will & I went down town in the buggy.  We stopped at home for some cream Hattie gave me.  I got a new Electric lamp for the table.  I churned and baked cake in the afternoon and put up strawberries.  Mother and LeGrand were out for some things.  Will got [Millie?] [shod?] in the afternoon.
