Monday June 14th 1880 I partly did the washing this morning and as it looked like rain I put the clothes to soak. It was so stormy we could not go to the funeral of Grace Carroll this afternoon. I was over to Wildes late in the afternoon. Tuesday June 15th 1880 I finished the washing this forenoon and Win came over after dinner and Father took us out to Barnes. We stopped at Hartsocks coming back and got a half bushel of goose-berries that we worked all the evening getting ready to put up. Wednesday, June 16th 1880 I got up early and put up most of the berries before breakfast. Father, Hatt, Win and I went up in the country for cherries. We got home about four oclock and I worked till nearly eleven to put them up. I was very tired tonight.
