Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 76

Wednesday March 25th 1903
It was a nice day. Will took some things down
home and eggs to town. They were late home to
dinner. Will and Mary Woolf were out in the afternoon.
Thursday March 26th 1903
I did ironing and cake baking today and was too tired
to take a stitch when I was down. Will is busy
driving colts. I read some in the evening.
Friday March 27th 1903
I put in the entire day when not busy with
the meals and churning at sweeping and cleaning
the house. Mollie went home today. The boys were
riving the colts. I went to bed early I was so tired.
Saturday March 28th 1903
We went to town in the forenoon and I did a lot of
shopping. We stopped at home for dinner and I
spent the afternoon there. We came home in
time to do evening work. I read some and went
to bed early. The weather better and roads improved.
