Tuesday May 16th. Hattie, Hubert, Toby and I all went to the farm this morning and took a few things over. Bill was at work on the hen house. I left Hattie, Hubert & Toby at the house I went back to harrow. It threatened rain all morning and came down pretty heavily about 11 O'Clock. We all came home at noon. After dinner, Hubert and I went and got some Lake sand & plaster, and {?} was at the farm pushing all afternoon. Phill Stewart came after me and I had to go out there after 6 O'Clock. {?} and I put up the {gates?} in the fence and let Bobbie & Fred down the lane.

Wednesday 17th May We had a beautiful rain last night and it was drizzling a little when I got up this morning so we did not get to the farm very early. Hubert and Hattie went too tho Hattie did not go till after dinner. Perkins was there with his pump so I had to help him all day. Hubert helped Bill at the hen house and cleaned the plaster out of the house. Toby had to help both of us. It has been a beautiful growing day Warm & {?}
