They finished there this after noon and then moved down to {illegible} and thrashed him out in an hour or two and Frank didn't get back till dark. Dad. and I did chores and and Dad. battoned up the north end of the calve's pen. I started to read after dinner and went to sleep for quite awhile {illegible words} for awhile this after noon to get the number of the old ram Enah and Frank went down to the Library dance to-night & I went down town and went up to Miss Martin's with Marj. I went down to Aunty's and found Ross there. He came in on the nine o'clock car. I went up to the hall to call for Enah about half past eleven as she didn't want to stay too late. There was certainly a jamboree up there in the hallway was packed so full a fellow could hardly move and couldn't see across the room for smoke. Colder & windy.

Dad. Frank and I have been hauling in corn all day we got in six rack loads averaging about ten shocks to the load and put it off up over ther granary we where the clover seed was. We got some of the best corn in the field amnd some oand some of it was very goof[d lookijg. Roy came over to tea to-night and Dad. walked back with him to-night {illegible words} saw several little dorm mic ein the corn foeld to-day. Ther=y are very pretty and unlike the field mice which always make for another shock cross-country when the shock they have inhabiting is lifted off them and are generally caught by the dogs, the door mice always try to climb out of harm's reach. One of them ran up the spoked oin the front wheel and sat on the front bolster of the waggon foir a ,ong time and a ran up the horse's lefgs. Beautiful Spring day agaian. Muddy this afternoon.
