noon, but Frank stayed back there to set some traps for a coon he thought he saw tracks of the other day, he isn't sure whether it is a coon or a ground hog. This afternoon he went back and worked all after noon on the side hill, while Dad and I cleaned up more oats. Enah went down to choir practice to-night. Lovely day.

Saturday May 6th

Dad. got started down pretty early and worked all day in the barden down home fixing the paths all up the way they used to be. He had to cut the sod right off so it was a tedious job, but I went down to-night and there are all just tickled to death at the change in the looks of things He took the baby down with him. Frank worked all day on the land and says he got fairly well. I worked arounfd the gardewn all day and did chores. At noon while we were at dinner we heardv a cow bawl and on looking. out saw they had knicked down the lane gate and were all back the lane. We tried to head them off bi=ut couldn't so let them go. Jim went back too although Dad wanted to put her in the orchard instead of back there as he was afraid she would not be able to navigate the hills but she managed pretty well Nice day rained a few times I went down rto-nifght and hgot my newe suit.
