and then it was most decidely wet as we had a very heavy thunder storm and it was rainy and sunny by turns all day. Frank and I didn't know whether to go down and get a load of slabs an run chances of getting wet or whether to stay home and make a post so we wound up by doing neither. Charlie Shand was in to tell us they were going to do road work next week, he had to go on over to Martin's, Quanbury's and Fleming's so I rode around with him and asked Jack Martin if I could ship my eggs with his and he said I could. I went down town to-night and had some strawberries at Miss Martin's. Wednesday June 27th Frank and I hauled two loads of slabs to-day one this morning and one this after noon, they were really only half loads as Hawey was charging two dollars a load and we thought we couldn't haul a big enough load for a whole one. When we came back this after noon we made another post. Kathleen Millman and her two friends Eva Williams or {Tow?} and Miss Kirtland were over this morning, they are here for a week staying at the Moon's. Dad. was up at Ham. Thompson's all morning with Daisy May looking at Hams. crops and stock. Dad. says he thinks he has a good crop of peas but they are not a patch on our Market.
