Monday March 18th 1901 It was a bright warm day. I was busy about the work all forenoon and in the afternoon went over to Mrs Kozer I mended the things in the evening I had ironed in the morning. Will went down to the school meeting. Tuesday March 19th 1901 It turned very cold and stormy again. I sewed on my dress that I began fixing yesterday. The boys could not be out of the house much of the time today. Wednesday March 20th 1901 It was cold and stormy I cut out a new calico dress for myself and sewed all day only when getting the meals. I read all the evening. Thursday March 21st 1901 I was busy sewing all day. Will went to town to see about a man to fix the well. Ida Vaughn was here in the afternoon I have hired her for awhile. Friday March 22nd 1901 Will went down town early for Will Hedges to fix the well they worked with it all day. then Will took him back to town. The roads are getting very bad I was busy sewing when not at the cooking Russell is cutting some of the dead trees in front yard
