Wednesday June 25th 1884. It has quit raining and is cooler. Mother and I went over this morning and got new carpets for dining room and sitting room and the south east one up stairs and selected paper for the two south rooms up there. Hatt came over in the afternoon and we sewed carpet while Mother and Rob went after cherries. We worked all the evening putting them up. Thursday June 26th 1884. I helped some about the washing this morning and sewed carpet a little too. Lee went and got more cherries and we worked till supper time putting them up. I ironed some after supper. Friday June 27th 1884. We made the carpet for the little room today and I cleaned the room and put it down. The man came and papered the rooms up stairs and I put the new carpet down in the east one We took the carpet out of the dining and sitting rooms and had them white washed I finished the ironing and put the clothes away.
