Sunday June 4 1911  Came home at 6 and was at work most of the forenoon.  Winnie out for supper and I went back with her to sleep with Mother.  I slept in afternoon awhile.   Monday June 5 1911  I came at 5.10  We did a big washing  It is frightfully hot.  I slept most of the afternoon.  Will about home.  Tuesday June 6 1911  Did ironing and churning, picked some berries  I used my new electric iron.  I sent a lot of mail in afternoon down home to stay all night.  Mother scarcely slept at all   Wednesday June 7 1911   I cleaned the summer kitchen and washed some curtains.  Will very busy all day.  I rested a very little in afternoon and put the last of little chickens in the yard after supper.  Thursday June 8 1911   I was busy with the work.  I got the last of the berries for supper tonight.  I got an hours rest in afternoon before Cora came out.  Rob out to supper and I went down with Cora to stay all night.  A warm day.
