Transcription

April Thursday 28 1927 A fine cool day for working horses and I accomplished quite a lot of work when I harrowed the south half of oat field twice and rolled it in front of the drill. Dan sowed all day and nearly finished the piece. Had a delightful walk back and up the flats with Jean after supper in the twilight. Friday 29 A wonderful day. Harrowed in the four acre piece all morning then in the afternoon the three of us helped the Hunters build a fence across the river. Fell in, got my feet wet, and scratched my foot on the barb wire. Jean brough me home a letter containing good news about the Tretheway-Ossian mines when she came home from town at noon. Saturday 30 {left side of writing is cut off a bit} Rolled and harrowed in the three corner piece in the morning. Finished harrowing when Dan finished sowing it in the afternoon then harrowed the nine acres in the south field in three hours. {word cut off} increase arrived at noon and it has a dark complexion. Had a bath after supper, then went to town with Jean and Dan but was home arly. Through seeding Hurrah! May Sunday 1 1927 All of us went up to Uncle Arts for dinner and had a great time with lots of good laughs. Grandpa and Elsie came out after dinner so we had a real nice visit. Did the chores in a hurry when we got home and Jean and I attended church together at night for the first time since we were married and it was High School night at that. A dandy day and a wonderful one for me. Monday 2 A dandy bright warm day. Struck out three lands and the ends of the root field with the old team then plowed with my own team till 5.30 when I quit to help Jean with the milking. Jean accompanied me when I went up to put a new shoe and landside on my plow after supper. "Stubby" had a colt when I went to the barn in the morning and its a "Miss Stubby" and a pretty roan one at that. Tuesday 3 It threatened to rain all morning but kept off until after eleven when I had to quit plowing and unhook for the barn. Dan & I changed oil in separator. Rung the pigs before we looked up about three o'clock when it had stopped raining. Jean & I celebrated our 2nd anniversary by helping cash other with our work after supper and a walk together. Carl, Bobbie & Scott brought down my buggy wheel.
