very warm this morning. I did up the work and got us
a nice dinner. I went down to Woolfs and was at home
awhile too. took things to be sent to Lydia. I came
home to do evening work. Looked like rain.

weather still warm. Bob came this morning to put in
the windows and do some other finishing work. They
got the stove up early in afternoon. It was fortunate
as it blew up colder. I worked on till bed time
cleaning wood work and floors. I will be glad to get done.
Tuesday October 11th 1904
I got help with the washing and did the ironing

Wednesday October 12th 1904
I did some baking and other house work and got
early dinner. Will went with me as far as home
place but came back on car. I took Mother to
west farm to see about building. we decided
to not have it done. Got home in time
for evening work. It was a cool ride.
