May Sunday 22 1927
A wonderful day and just like Summer Jean and I and our family attended church in the morning. Cunningham's came right after dinner then we went for a walk around the flats. Three Cayuga young men and the Telfer family were here for supper including Cousin Eva with her diamond. "Fly" got quite badly cut up when Dolly and Prince put her over the wire fence.
Monday 23
Another wet Monday and we spent the day housecleaning at the barn and at night I started to build a rack for my team harness. Had my first experience helping a sheep to lamb. Had to call Fasken to get him to remove a pair of ewe lambs and they are all right.
Tuesday 24
Fixed fence along the lane in the morning and then after dinner we hooked "Prince and Gyp" together for the first time and celebrated Victoria Day by working on the highway. Jean and I had only been in bed a few minutes when we had to get up as Charlie and Irene came over.
