Tuesday March 3rd 1903
It was a nice day. Mother came out I was busy
with the house-work till after dinner. I then cut
out a waist for her and worked on it all afternoon.
Wednesday March 4th 1903
The weather was not so pleasant. I had a
good deal of house work to do. Will went to
town and did not get home for dinner. he tells me
that Mrs Bremner is better and Fannie is home.
The new boy is at work about the place.
Will sold Rowdy for $100. Today took him in town.
Thursday March 5th 1903
It was  cloudy drizzling day. A great contrast to
two years ago today that Lee was buried. it was so
very cold. Will was down town again today. I was
busy with the work till after dinner. sewed on Mothers dress. Mollie away for supper.
Friday March 6th 1903
It rained part of the day. I did the regular work,
sewed some on Mothers waist. Will brought the
horses home for pasture. Mollie went down town
with Florence Clark after school.
