This morning Bill and I started to put up the scaffold in case any one did come to lay shingles and pretty soon Clair Dell 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

Then Daddy went down to Vyse's and got that same implement and cut the lawn in front of the house and started in the plum orchard.
The shingler's got done about four o'clock and went to work about the inside of the building
Enah could not get the butter to mix up properly this time
It has been pretty mucky to-day with one shower this after noon.
