Iowa Byington Reed diary, August 1, 1903-April 30, 1904

Page 52

Friday February 5th 1904
It was a fine day. They got the hogs away
all right and the boys were back for dinner.
Will took me down home in the afternoon it has
thawed till it is very slippery. Mollie went home.
Wills 37 hogs brought $342.45. I read in evening.
Saturday February 6th 1904
It was like summer time. We hardly needed
fire in the house. The ice left the ground
today where it has been for more than two weeks.
I finished my dressing sacque by noon and after
dinner washed out a few things and ironed them
with my washing that was sent home. I did
some mending in the evening.
Sunday February 7th 1904
It was an intensely cold day. I was busy 
about the house all morning. I wrote to
Alice Condon & Nellie Byington in the afternoon.
Mollie came back in the evening. she was
very cold. We red and talked in the
evening.
