Saturday October 9th 1909 I worked all day at the garret only when busy with the regular housework. Will went to town in the afternoon I put up some tomatoes in the evening. It rained some. Sunday October 10th 1909 I was busy all morning with the work, had dinner early Will and I were going up to [Irmaliny? Trumps?] funeral but it began to rain. Kate [Havenhuch?] will be buried tomorrow morning I did some looking through the desk and wrote some. Monday October 11th 1909 I was an unpleasant morning. I washed out a few colored things. In the afternoon I was fixing in the calico waist that did not suit me. I read in the evening. Tuesday October 12th 1909 A cold windy day. I did the regular work and sewed what spare time I had. I dont enjoy the telephone they put in more then a week ago like i did the old one They have a new boy baby over at Jones. Wednesday October 13th 1909 I was busy with the work all forenoon and took fruits down home in the afternoon. Fannie is in [Muskettown?] to look after her mothers things some I did the evening work and read some It was so cold it froze ice last night
