Sunday August 17th 1902 It rained much of the forenoon. I baked a cake and did other work. I wrote to Vene in the evening. Ida Vaughn was here in the afternoon. Monday August 18th 1902 There was a terrible storm last night. So much lightning. I did not do much of any thing today. It was warm and I did not feel well. Tuesday August 19th 1902 I went down as far as home this morning with Will when he went to town to get a keg for my pickles. I visited with Laura most of the afternoon. Otts folks went to Davenport this morning. we had a terrible rain early in the evening. Wednesday August 20th 1902 I put my pickles away today and dried some apples. The river is very high and the creek over the road. The men can do nothing but mow some weeds. I sewed in the afternoon. I sent regrets to Mrs Ballard
