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

Page 94

Thursday May 28th 1903
I did baking and was busy with the work all
forenoon. We went down home in the afternoon.
Mother has changed to Dr Dean is feels some
better. We hurried home to escape a rain.
Mollie spent the evening away from home.
Friday May 29th 1903
It looked cloudy all forenoon and set in to rain
soon after dinner. Lib came for Mollie. They
went home in a driving rain. I feel so lonely
and out of sorts. I did so want to go down home
this afternoon. The boys came do any farm work.
Saturday May 30th 1903
Will went to town this morning in the rain
with the butter & eggs and got things needed. The
word Mother is about the same. Walter took the
day in town. I was busy doing baking all the
forenoon and worked at tatting in afternoon.
It rained all day long. I dont know what is
to become of the crops. I have a hard time with my little chicks.
