It looks like Mary was in a creative mood on this day. Her drawing was quite playful and she also made a pun with the word "hare" meaning both "a rabbit" and "hair". The joke being that whaen you hear the words "hare dressing" you think about hair being styled but in this picture it refers to two rabbits wearing clothes.—#lhering

Mary has drawn a picture of this bedroom scene and once again uses a pun. She says "an early spring". This both referenceing the person in the image getting out of bed early, and the season of spring coming early.—#lhering

The words "Look underneath, please!" are written on a sticky note. Under the stick note there is more text that reads "APRIL FOOL!!" and is underlined.—#lhering

It is apparent that Theresa and Mary are probably friends because sometimes she gives Mary desserts as a suprise. It is also possible that Theresa is a baker and ownes a bakery.—#lhering

A ballard table is the same thing that we often refer to as a pool table. It is just a different word to describe the same thing.—#lhering

It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Behrend had a child somewhat recently and that is what this callendar page is about.—#lhering

The flowers in the drawing might be chrysanthemums or minnow daffodils based on their color. They may also just be a randomly colored flower that Marry Behrend decided to draw from her imagination.—#lhering

In the picture the woman sitting down is most likely Mary Behrend because her initials are written at the bottom of the page right next to the lady. Then the woman standing up is most likey one of her servants/maids. The infant is probably one of her childeren and most likely Warren because he was born around 1909—#lhering

This is showing that Mary is cooking fish for dinner and is asking if Ernst will be attending and having fish with her.—#zmurphy

This is showing that mary is very conservative of her money and does not want to spend thousands of dollars on jewelry when they could because they were very financially stable.—#zmurphy

This shows that Mary is receiving packages every May and there are tasty treats within the basket.—#zmurphy

This shows that Mary loves the people that consist of her household and loves her house because of that.—#zmurphy

This shows tha gamie is not sure about the baby that is inside of the stroller, and is very confused about the baby.—zmurphy

This shows that Mary does not like clocks and that they should be thrown away—#zmurphy

This is showing that Mary is so excited to see cotton bunnies and they make her smile and she all around is happy when she sees one.—#zmurphy

This is showing that Mary is very unhappy at Mr. Reichemheims dog for liking german beer and expresses that it is really bad for a puppy like it to be drinking.—#zmurphy

This is one of the few pages written entirely in pencil. Unfortunately, this means that it isn't very clear to read. From what little I can gather, Mary's family had the roof of their house redone and ordered a billiard/pool table, and either her husband or someone they know loves to play pool.—#rgerzevske

I took care to transcribe the printed text in the images. I couldn't read what was entirely in pencil, but I got most of it. It sounds like she hasn't had Warren yet, so she is worried about her weight and is reading up on skin-care.—#rgerzevske

I wonder: if this is Mary, did she cut and clean her husband's hair? Was she at a hairdresser waiting to have her hair done and saw this when she was waiting? Did they have a housekeeper of some kind? I have so many questions. —#rgerzevske

It's clear that Mary is talking about her son Warren here. From the way she talks about him, he is a few months old (or less) and she absolutely adores him. If Warren is her first born child, then her joy from being around him makes a lot more sense. —#rgerzevske

I don't know if Becker has been mentioned before, but he appears he is a close friend of the Behrends. I remember that around this time more people were encouraged to start gardens (If I am remembering correctly), and Maryoffering fresh fruits and vegetables to someone, friend or neighbor, was a sign of goodwill.—#rgerzevske

I can tell, from reading enough pages, that Warren has already been born. Since he's a young child, I wouldn't be surprised if Mary tried writing little stories to read to her son. It's almost like something out of a children's book, and it reminds me of some of the books I had read to me when I was young.—#rgerzevske

This is one of the most bizarre calendar pages out of the collection. It's one of, if not, the only page that doesn't have a drawing or photo on it. I wonder if she couldn't think of anything to draw. Maybe she didn't have time, or maybe this quote inspired her. Who knows?—#rgerzevske

I can't read everything, but it appears this was written after attending a funeral or recently losing a loved one. Unfortunately, I can't make out most of her handwriting here, and I wonder if that's her in the picture.—#rgerzevske

This is a stark contrast from the previous page; it was somber, likely from losing someone close, and now she's drawn something silly about rabbits, a common "game" animal. Maybe she knew someone who was hunter, since rabbit are common game animals when they are not being kept as pets.—#rgerzevske
