Sunday April 21st 1907
I was busy with the work most of the forenoon.  Dr Potter was here to see "Lady" again.  Billy was not here for dinner.  I went down home at 1.37 and came back at 5.20.  Otts folks and Aunt Fannie [Hepburn?] were up home.  It was bed-time when the evening work was done.
Monday April 22 1907
I did some sweeping and cooking this morning and attended to my chickens.  I was over to Mrs. [Kovers?] in the afternoon a little while  The boys planted the potatoes down in the field.  I feel badly with my [nose?] hurting me.
Tuesday April 23 1907
Will churned for me and I baked bread today.  Mother came out at 9.20.  Had a nice visit and I took her home late in the afternoon and went on to town. Did evening work and wrote a letter to Lydia  Weather some pleasanter.
Wednesday April 24 1907
The boys planted potatoes here near the house this morning.  Will was gone all afternoon looking over the road work.  I was jist ready to go to town in afternoon and the men came to clean the  [illegible].  I looked after that and ripped up a dress I am fixing for Mother.
