Sunday May 21st. This is our first Sunday on the farm and it is a hot one. It was been very hot for the last three days. We have been in such confusion that I have not had time to write in this since Wednesday. Thursday Perkins was here again at the pump so it was Friday he went to the circus on Thursday, so did Dick, he finished fixing up the pump and Windmill yesterday and it works beautifully. We only got partly moved land? yesterday but hope to be in more settled state next Sunday.

I have Just written a short stort letter to {?}, it is terribly lonely without her.

Monday 22nd. This has been another very hot day. Bill did not come back this morning so we did not get on at any of the farm work, but Hattie and I finished papering the hall. Toby cleaned up the front yard after tea the bagoys went to the Stump and Hattie and I went down home and got the turkeys. They hatched well only and 1 bad egg. It is thundering now and looks very like rain.

Tuesday 23rd. Bill came this morning and we finished the chicken fence then we all went down with the waggon and got Huberts range and a few things from the house Bill went up and got Harry Ausley's horse. He did not get vack to the farm until 1 O'Clock, we had some dinner then put up the stoves. Bill and I went back there and got the plough & harrows, ploughed a little piece back of the barn and commenced ploughing for Mangels and corn. Mrs Waddle and Mrs Colman were over this afternoon and so were both Coll and Phoebe (the pen is dry) latter were all through the house. There is a great thunder storm going on now and the rain is needed.
