A bright day and just like spring. Will went to Knoll’s and got spreader and started to clean barn & hog-house. I mopped south-room and we went to Spencer in p.m. Tom Ernest, Louise Ernest & Aldena Woolhiser stopped and changed horses as one had astoria. Mamma is sitting up now and there are so many cases [of] flu around here. Mrs. O. Ernest & Havalin leave for Council Bluffs on morning train to make their home.

Bright but N.W. breeze and was dusty so I never finished washing but got meals and I am so tired and my feet hurt I can scarcely walk. Wm chored and got a load of cane and fed cattle south of river on account of weak ice. Ben came and he walked to store to mail letter to Kloke Investment Co., Omaha, and in p.m. he and Wm got a load of cow-chips in pasture. Late p.m. I finished rest of clothes and hung out to dry.
