Saturday May 20th

Dad. and Enah paperd nearly all morning and I think are just about through. Frank and I went out about ten o'clock to work at the lane and have been there all day, Dad. helping us this after noon I threw the sods from the side into the middle on the east side right back and they followed cleaning out the loose earth and culling the east edge of the ditch on a hebel so the cattle wouldn't tramp up and break it. We are only working north of the waterhole as they couldnt plow through that with the team. After we did chores to night and before tea we ran the buggy down the lawn to the ditch and washed it. After tea Frank and I went down town and I got my hair cut. Sunny & nice. But breezy.
