to look at the wheat. It is very brown but it is not heavy and seems to be alive still. To-night Enah, Frank and I drove down to church and Frank went to the show afterwards. It has been a lovely day. We still have the sow that Colin Ryerse brought in here last night. It went past here in the after noon with a couple of fellows who were driving some stock down the road and we thought it belonged to them but Colin said it went into their place and the fellows didn't bother with it and as they were afraid it might hurt the sheep Colin chased it back up here, thinking may be it was old Gladys. She is a nice looking white sow & in good shape

Thursday March 22nd

This morning we did chores and I started to build another chicken coop. Frank is making a bird house to attract some blue martins to build as they are supposed to eat up house flys. We also took some pictures this morning one of the ram and one of Elgitha. This after noon Frank and Dad. went down home to cut the last of the locust trees in front of the house but I don't think they had much luck. I worked on my chicken coops and painted the one. Old Bill Roberts came in and claimed the lost sow. He said he would be after her to-morrow. It has been a beautiful, mild spring day.
