Tuesday June 16th 1903 I did ironing and some baking this morning. Will went to town for shingles and back again before dinner for Mr Davis. I did a little sewing in the afternoon and looked after my chickens. Wednesday June 17th 1903 I washed windows in the forenoon besides doing the regular work. Sewed in the afternoon, wrote a note to Hatt. Bob finished the chicken house and Will got a place cleared and a tree cut down where he wants to build a machine shed. Thursday June 18th 1903 I baked a fruit cake this morning and washed more windows. Clarence churned for me. Will and Bob began work on the machine shed. I sewed most of the afternoon. weather very nice. Friday June 19th 1903 I had Clarence help me all forenoon to work in yard and clean chicken house. I sewed in afternoon. The boys working on shed & Walter plowing corn.
