Friday May 30th
Dad. has been disking all day on the back field. He got all over it lengthways this after noon and started disking crossways. I finished mulching the little trees this morning and set out some tomato plants that Aunty Alice gave Enah. I also dug around some of the little poplar trees along the side road. While I was at that Pickford saw me and haled me over to look at his sow and crops. I was over there till nearly noon. This after noon Frank and I went out to Shand's after our barley seed. They had it all cleaned so we weren't out there very long. When we got back we took the little team back to the field and I harrowed till five o'clock. It was very hot for them. I went down town to-night. Aunty got home from London to-night. Fine & very hot
Saturday May 31st
We have worked on the land all day but as we had old Pommers in all day we had to give it to him easy. Dad. put him and old Harry on the disks this morning and I went around with him for about an hour with the rope through the bit, but as he soon cooled down, we didn't bother with the rope but Dad. walked behind the disks all day. He got pretty well tired out but is big enough to stand it. I had Queen & Belle on the harrows for a little while before dinner and this after noon. Queen rammed into it all day and as it was very hot they were wringing wet to-night. After tea to-night I took the buggy down to the mill and washed it and then had a shower bath under the flume. Got home soon after ten. Frank went down town to-night and says Quint is not home yet.
Sunday May June 1st
Frank Tid. and I went down to Sunday school this morning and Enah drove down to church. This afternoon Marj. and I went for a drive down the Lake Shore with Queen. Dad. went down to Aunty's and Enah went down to see the Hobbes and then stayed to tea at her mother's. Frank went off on his wheel after dinner and didn't get home till about midnight. I think he was down at Dave Ward's. I helped Dad. do chores and then went down town for the evening. It was very hot to-day and the Lakeshore road was lined with cars and picnicers
