Tuesday May 29th

We started on the rest of the sheep this morning alone and the first one seemed too wet to shear. Dad. let them all out for a few minutes last night and the first thing they did was to go across the dirtch andit was too swollen for the planks to go over it so consequently a good many of them got in. However we caught a drier one and I had it nearly sheared when Art. come. I didn't make a very good job of it as I didn't have the knoves sharp enough. About eleven o'clock I went down town to get some coal oil and on up to the mill for flour and chicken feed. The hill down here at Preston's where they have out the big stones is so bad I had to go both ways to town and was so delayed that I didn't get home till after one. Billy Mills stopped me to ask about en Ivey's line fences asd Jack is going to turn cattle back there in Ben's gully. Cawley stopped me to ask about the same thing Uncle Ward nailed me ad I had to go sown to Aunty's. Aunty Alice is going to Toronto in the morning. Art. left at eleb=ven o'clock and we finu=ished the sheep at four o'clock this after noon. I sheared the last one, so we are all prertty fair at the job now. Countung the tags we had 195 lbs of wool taking the aggregate at the infdividual fleece weighs accorfind to the spring scales. To-night I went down to Aunty Alice's with the some ehhs and cream for ~Roy. Raining this morning but cleardd off with fine warmer day.
