I will not be transcribing each entry since most of Bert's diary is pretty clear. You can read the original more easily by clicking on the image above to view a larger version. I will be including this paragraph, or something similar in each entry so that new readers will know they can click the image to enlarge it for easier reading. Also, there will be some links to the right of the page with relevant information that may be of interest. If you follow Bert's diary regularly, you can skip this paragraph. My notes will include the basics of what Bert talks about each day, along with my own personal thoughts, research, information gleaned from past or future entries, etc. If you have information or suggestions that may help my research, please e-mail me.

Monday, February 19, 1894 --- They do the morning chores, and then Bert, Leman, and John shovel out the road. At about 10AM, they go to work cleaning oats, and do about three hundred and one bushels! Probably again a case of not wanting to move the oats and the chaff to the new farm?
Tuesday, February 20, 1894 --- They do the chores, eat, and then move two loads of tools and grain to the new farm. They get back home around 7PM.
