Saturday May 12th 1900 It is 14 years today since Will and I were married. I was busy all forenoon doing baking and in the afternoon was down to Callies a little while. Will finished planting corn on the east side of the road. The boys both went to town tonight. Sunday May 13th 1900 Will and I were here alone the greater part of the day I read in the forenoon and slept in the afternoon. It was an unpleasant day for the hot wind. Monday May 14th 1900 I was busy all forenoon with the work. Will helped me fill the milk tank with water and got down extra ice. I knit most of the afternoon. Tuesday May 15th 1900 Will churned twice for me in the forenoon. I got the dinner. I knit some in the afternoon and got the butter all worked and put in the crocks. Wednesday May 16th 1900 We had a fine rain last night. I did a little work in the yard this morning after the work was done up. In the afternoon I worked at a dress Hatt gave me. Will began to plant corn in the lower field in the afternoon
