I did cake baking early and went down to Pointers
for gooseberries. I do not feel well & am having a
spell of indigestion. Will went to town in the 
afternoon and Laura came home with him.
I was busy all afternoon cleaning up the house.
We visited till late bed time. weather quite cool.
Sunday June 22nd 1902
We sat around the kitchen stove and talked all
the forenoon when not busy with the work. I had
dinner early and took Laura home. Will went with
us as far as Woolfs. I do not feel well.
Monday June 23rd 1902
The men were able to plow today. Will helped me
in the forenoon and in the afternoon brought "Bess"
down from the pasture with her little colt. I do not feel better.
Tuesday June 24th 1902
Will went to North Liberty early this morning of an
errand. I was busy all forenoon with the work. I got
on very slow for I felt awful bad. In the
afternoon I did a little mending and read
some. Will took Bess back to the pasture
The men are plowing corn. weather cool.
