I did not feel very brisk so took things slowly had a
extra work with my chickens. I have hatched about 70
this last week and am all done. Rob & Hattie were out in
afternoon to get some strawberries. Willie went out early
this morning to bring "Bess" back from the fair ground.
Monday June 12th 1905
Levi Hill helped Will make fence today where the heavy
rain washed it out Friday night. They took 14 hogs
to town this morning which brought $143.00. I was busy with
the strawberries when not doing the regular work.
Tuesday June 14th 1905
I went down town early this morning and back over to
Otts to see John Helmich and wife. I then called up home
a little while and home in time for dinner. I picked
berries in afternoon. The boys are both plowing corn.
Thursday June 15th 1905
I picked berries most of the morning. Will and I went to
town in afternoon, very hot. Was over home awhile. I
took them some berries did evening work took care of chickens.
