Miss McQueen. It was drizzling when I started home so I went down and spent the night at Aunty's. Monday April 30th I got home this morning just as the family were at breakfast. Frank disked on the pea ground all morning and said it worked fine. Dad. trimmed up all the ewes and I spent the morning with him although I didn't do much to help. We also docked the two last lambs. This after noon Dad. and Frank went out to England's to Orin's funeral and Dad. took Enah and the baby down town and called for them on his way home. Enah wanted to practice a duet with Mr. Johnson. I sowed a few lbs of clover seed on the oats at the road end of the field as Dad. didn't have quite enough seed to go over it all when he drilled it. I also sowed about four lbs of rape seed on the plum orchard and I think I got it on a little too thick. Alan Law brought back the manure spreader. I gave Tom Abbot a setting of eggs to-night It is the only way I can pay him for hauling the butter milk. Art. Quanbury was in to-night to ask about his new lamb. Milder but cloudy Tuesday April May 1st
