Will was down town in the afternoon and brought me some more barrels. weather still cool. Tuesday May 28th 1895 I went down town early this morning. I had butter and eggs to take to the grocery and I sent the interest money to Miller at Dwight. I was over the river a little while. I sewed in the afternoon and looked after my chickens. weather warmer. Wednesday May 29th 1895 I got my work done up nicely and a good dinner ready. Mrs Moore and Mother were out to spend the day. We had a fine visit. Will is plowing corn. Thursday May 30th 1895 It began raining early this morning and rained most of the day. It was just grand.
