Iowa Byington Reed diary, April 1, 1905-December 31, 1906

Page 106

Saturday June 2nd 1906
I was busy all forenoon with regular work and
doing baking. Will went to town by car in afternoon.
I cleaned the cup-board and side-board and the
silver and did a lot of little things. It has
been a good weeks work. Went to bed early.
Sunday June 3rd 1906
Will went to the pasture. I was busy most of the
forenoon with the work. We went down home in
the afternoon. Came home to do evening work.
Monday June 4th 1906
I did some sweeping in the morning and in afternoon
mending and cut some pieces and sorted scraps.
Will went up to the pasture to fix fence. Did evening
work. My chickens are so much care.
Tuesday June 5th 1906
I cut a few more pieces in forenoon. I found
so many ripe strawberries I had to pick most
of the afternoon. Mollie came out to stay all night.
I had a letter from Lydia. Spent the
evening talking with Mollie. Weather pleasant.
Will has Rueben plowing the corn second time.
