Tuesday March 26th
I went over and helped Billy cover strawberries this morning and Jack told me he wanted me to help do chores around the chicken pens this afternoon noon so I put in the after noon, watering chickens and cleaning off dropping boards and about four o'clock went down with old Jack and the democrat and got a couple of boxes of eel-parts.. I saw May Perry down town, she was home for a day. The big war news yester day proved to be all a fake. The British are still retreating but their lines are not broken and they are in flicting heavy losses on the Germans who still persist in attacking in massed formations. Nice day. Raw
Wednesday March 27th
I have been over at Jack's all day fiddling around watering, feeding and cleaning out chicken houses and doing any thing any body told me to. Snow drop presented us with a big black bull calf this morning and ewe no 15 had a pair of lambs. To-night I went down town and went down to the station with Marj. who went to get her tickets for Haliburton. She is going home for Easter to-morrow. It has been a fine day but freezing to-night.
