March 13 1917. It rained all day. I had planned to go to town to see Millie as they leave for Canada again tonight. I hemmed two more pairs of sheets. 1918. Letter from Anna. Cloudy, with drizzly rain turning to snow by evening. Planted seeds of cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, wonderberry, garden huckleberry, and pimento peppers in cigar boxes. Did some mending. Visiting with Co. Supt Miss Conrow in courthouse. Wrote to August. Hans went on 8:00 P.M. train. I went to station, too, making 7 miles I walked today. 1919. Foggy and cloudy all day. Mud "worst ever." Finished the mending, made a khaki collar and most of another shirt for Hans. Crocheted a little. Letter from Helena. First pimento up, other peppers have been up several days. 1920. Sunny and muddy. I baked bread and pumpkin pies, mopped. Amanda here few minutes, before going back to Dakota. Adela and I carried crates out of yard and straightened up, having Hilda outdoors with us in her buggy. Hans late at his father's with Dr. McIntyre, then went back to stay all night with little pigs there Supper at 8:40. 1921. A rainy Sunday. Signe slept a great deal, so I napped, too. Wrote to mamma. Actually was in bed before ten.
