from Uncle Ward's, Tid and I burned the dead grass off the yard where I want to put the little chickens and then Frank and I put the association ear tags in the rams lambs yearlings. After dinner we put them in the yearling ewes and the private numbers in the lambs. Lila came over soon after dinner and Aunty Alice and Roy after that. We didn't do much but chores and visit the rest of the after noon. They all stayed to tea. Two more ewes lambed this after noon No. 40 & No 15 and another one to-night old Lop-ear. Frank went down town to-night and I think went to the show with Lila. I wrote to Cockshutt and told him to send down the little bull if he hadn't sold him as Dad. thought that as we couldn't very well lose anything on him it would be worth trying him to see what sort of impression he would make as well as purifying the blood of our stock. I went to bed early. It rained last night and has been cloudy but very mild all day. Sunday April 6th It was very showery all morning but was a beautiful after noon and is thundering and cloudy to-night. Frank went down to Sunday school this morning but I was too late getting ready as I spent considerable time with my setting hens. I went down to church though. Enah and Tid. also drove down. I stayed to dinner at Aunty's and this after noon Marj. and I went up the Radical Road in quest of pussy willows but didn't find many nice ones although there were plenty of no. 2's. We went through Duncan's woods and down to the beach. It was lovely up there and I was very glad to be without my overcoat. I think this is the most Spring like day we have had and the grass is beginning to show quite green. I had tea with Aunty Alice and Aunt Ida as Aunty & Roy had gone up to Huby's. Aunt Ida and I went to church to-night but were joined at the church by Aunty. I spent the evening up at the Monteiths and when I got home found Dad. & Frank out in the barn with the sheep. Old Split-ear had triplets to-day one of them with a twisted face which Dad. has in the house. Another ewe had a single lamb. Monday April 7th It rained a little more during the night but was sunny and quite hot and muggy all morning and a little cooler and cloudy this afternoon. We trimmed a lot
