Julia Brumfield Diaries

Cloudy most of the day. No rain. Ben & Jim worked on their tobacco.

Josie washed with Henrys help. I got dinner. This evening we went to Marvins. Julia Fergerson & Mildred was there. We did not get up the turkeys. Could not find them. Hope that it will not rain.

Josie dressed two chickens to night for breakfast.

A beautiful day. Jim & Ben and Josie staid at home and worked. Josie got dinner and made some preserves. Greased the little turkeys. I got the breakfast and milked the cows and fed the fowls. Then Stuart Owen come for me and carried me to his home then Mr. Owen carried me to Owens mill. We fished but did not catch much. I did not catch any thing. We had a nice dinner. Lottie Kellie and Mrs Owen had enough to feed the crowd. I had a snack. We all put our dinner together. I want to see Carrie very bad.

A cloudy morning but no rain. I am haveing an easy time. My hip hurts me some yet I worked two button holes and hemed two quilts and gathered some peas today. Earl & Lonnie Bennett plowed some but they need rain bad. They watered their plant beds to night.

Alma went visiting this evening. Lizzie attends to the cows and chickens. She has five little turkeys. They are getting on fine.

I certainly do want to know how they are at home. Hope I will hear soon.

A good day. A little rain this evening.

We all staid at home all the morning. Josie got dinner. She had snaps and corn & pies as good as they could be. Ben made a swing for the porch and put it up. I think it is fine. I went to Marvins this evening. They had some mellons. They were very fine in flavor.

Ben & Josie went to look for the turkeys. Did not find them. I hope nothing wont happen to them.

Jim come home ok tonight. We were all so glad to see him.

A very bad day it was snowing this morning when we got up and it is snowing yet 8 o clock at night. It is drifted in places so that any one cant hardly go through it. Jim has fed the chicken & turkeys and cows. Ben milked and has brought the water. Josie got dinner. She cooked black eye peas and had a stew. I made some bats and sewed on my quilt some. Our mail carrier did no come today. We mis the mail. There was no school today.
