Sunday April 7th 1901 "Easter Sunday" It cleared today so the sun shone part of the time. Ida & Earnest went home. After dinner Will and I took a walk out over the place I found our deed today we thought was lost. A year ago today, We went up to see how Lee was. I did not think then he would be with us as long as he was. Monday April 8th 1901 We had a very large washing to do today and churning besides. I put some things back in the pantry and we did some work in the yard. quite a pleasant day. Tuesday April 9th 1901 The boys began to put in oats and Russell worked a great part of the day fixing the hen house I was out in the yard a great part of the day. and finished fixing the pantry We got the ironing done today too. Wednesday April 10th 1901 I set some hens this morning and did some work out of doors and did the mending and put away the clothes. Thursday April 11th 1901 We cleaned yard most of the forenoon when not busy with the regular work did the churning and got the butter ready to go down tomorrow The boys are still busy with the oats. Ida went to town
