Sat May 4 Mostly cloudy but did not rain.
Will went to town and got a couple of sacks of corn
ground and done sundry other errands and hauled
manure after he got home. I hoed strawberry plants
and irrigated on the piece north of the house.

Sun May 5 Clear and fine.
We kept Sunday all right [alright].

Mon May 6 Mostly clear and quite nice.
Will worked on the Long pond ditch
to day [today]. I put in the day at the strawberry
bed but I am still irrigating the alfalfa
north of the house.

Tues May 7 Fine. Will hauled manure
all day. I finished the strawberry vines and dug
up the alfalfa along the ditches in the forenoon
and this afternoon I helped haul manure.

Wed May 8 A real hot warm sultry
day and if it was only wet enough things
would grow hand over hand. We hauled
3 loads of manure to day [today] and I irrigated
the strawberry bed too.

Thurs May 9 Pretty nice day but the
wind has blowed most too much wind for
our use. Will plowed the piece towards the barn.
I irrigated on the alfalfa piece north of
the barn and the patch of peas beans corn
etc. and I made a couple of milking stools.

Fri May 10 Rather disagreeable. Will
harrowed and clod crushed and I irrigated in the forenoon
and in the afternoon we went to town. Done some
errands and brought out Katie Dotts.
