Tuesday June 27th

This morning Bill and I started to put up the scaffold in case any one did come to lay shingles and pretty soon Clair Deas and Dave Waddle came followed shortly by Frank Vyse and Earne Flemming.

They soon had the shingles off and started at the shingling. Bill Donald came to run furrows and disk and was working here all day. I sawed some wood and then went down cellar and found Dick looking very tired and acting more so over the churn which he had been working at for halfahour. I relieved him as I thought and churned till the butter came I afterwards learned though that he was not a bit tired but thought I wanted to churn. (I won't be so easily fooled next time). Then I went down to the stump for a dip and got back just at dinner time. After dinner Daddy and I went down and got another thousand of shingles and some oil for the mower
