Sunday June 1st 1902 I was busy about the house all forenoon. I read and wrote in the afternoon and arranged the desk in the dining room. It rained some. Monday June 2nd 1902 I had churning and baking to do. It is still rainy. I went to town in the afternoon to the Festival of music. Did the evening work. Looked after my chickens. Tuesday June 3rd 1902 Fred helped me wash in the morning and in the afternoon Will and I went to town. I did some shopping and went over home. Will walked over to come home with me. It was bed time when the work was done. Wednesday June 4th 1902 I did the ironing and got the dinner and in the afternoon Will helped me put down the carpet in the bedroom down stairs. I am very tired. Thursday June 5th 1902 Will churned for me this morning and in the afternoon helped me bring down the things for our room to fix up the room down stairs. I worked on till night about the house and taking care of my chickens. weather very warm
