Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 84

Thursday April 23rd 1903
It was a fine day. Clara came and helped
me wash and did more work in the yard. Father
and Mother came out for the day. I did the evening
work and went to bed early.
Friday April 24th 1903
A high wind nearly all day. I had a hard time
with ironing and baking. Clarence churned for me
and Frank trimmed some trees in the evening,
I did mending in afternoon. Mollie went home.
Saturday April 25th 1903
It was rainy this morning but cleared before noon.
I did not feel like sweeping so finished up my white
dressing sacque. After dinner Will went to town and
I went as far as Woolfs. Did evening work. weather pleasanter. Bro Charlie's birthday.
Sunday April 26th 1903
I was busy about the house most of the forenoon
and had dinner early. I wrote to Lydia Mason
and read in afternoon. I spent the evening
talking with Mollie. weather very pleasant.
