Wed Apr 2 Mothers birth day. Pretty nice only we had a cold snap of about an hour towards night. Dave went to town. Lew worked at the ditches on the Larimer place. I worked at cutting and setting slips.

Thurs Apr 3 Pretty windy all day but it sort of moderated a little towards night. Lew harrowed in the forenoon north of the house and in the afteroon he scraped in the ditch at the East end of the timber claim. Dave took Charleys cow home. I cleaned out the ditch next to the head gate in the forenoon and set a few slips and I set slips in the afternoon.

Tues Apr 8 Whew how the wind blue [blew]. I really felt blew about it myself for I couldnt hardly keep warm close to the stove. So we all kept pretty close to it most of the time.

Wed Apr 9 Quite a nice day once more. Dave went to Mr Walthalls and got a cart and harness that Lew had traded for after he got home he went to town. I worked at cutting and setting slips up on the timber claim. A Mr Ryckman came out and wanted to buy the ash trees. He thought he would want all of them. I told him if he did 20 cts [$0.20] each would buy them.
