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.

Friday. March 9, 1894 --- Leman and Bert do the chores at John Babcock's this morning and they then put up two loads of oats to take over to the new farm. A little rain today. Bert notes seeing the first robin and chipmunk of the spring season!
Saturday, March 10, 1894 --- A cold morning, but another full day of spring thaw. Herman took a load of potatoes over to the new farm, and Bert and Leman each took another load of oats. "the mud began to dry up today". I'm not sure what the cross drawing is about, or even if it is intended as a cross?
