morning and Enah came down to church. Marj. and I went down to Aunty's for lunch and about three o'clock went up to the Monteith's while I pumped some water for them up there and then we came over here to the farm and had tea. Dick {Fomsbe?} was over for awhile to see Dad. about a sick cow. Nice sunny day, cool wind.

Monday April 14th

Art. Quanbury came over about eight o clock this morning and we have been shingling all day and got the east side of the parlor roof on. We weren't looking for Art. till this after noon and were just ready to haul over a little hay but Frank hauled the rack over to the barn and then went down town and got the gutters from Hugh McQueen and Dad. and I hauled over a little jag of hay when he got back. Sam Law came up after dinner with his hammer and apron and said he heard us hammering so just came up to give us a hand. I suppose Tom has told him we were shingling. I went to band practise to-night.

Art. came over this morning and we shingled till noon and got about half of Dick's bed-room roof on but just at noon it began to rain and has kept it up all the after noon and evening. Snowdrop presented us with a black and white heifer calf this morning so it took considerable time after dinner to tend to her and do the other chores. We put some costic potash on the two youngest calves horns and Frank and I put up a lot of hay from the far bent in the big barn up over the sheep pen so that it will be handy to load when we can get the waggon over. It was cold this morning but about noon the wind veered a little more to the south east and it got a little milder. Dad. had to go up on the roof this morning to-night to stick some shingles over the bare spots where it was leaking.

Wednesday April 16th

It rained hard and steadily all orning and I think all night. It cleared off two or three times during the after noon but rained most of the time a nd is cloudy to-night. We haven't done any thing but chores all day and sit around and read. The ditch running thrugh the sheep pasture is a regular river, and when Frak let them out at noon most of them plunged right throught it as they have
