come over earlier. George and I cleared up some of the old shingles around the house this after noon and I cleaned out the cow stables. Dad. let the cattle back to the gully this after noon but as the fence isn't fixed yet into the field, they all got in, at least the cows did. The calves didn't go out of the lane. I went back after them about five and they were right back at the woods and the felt so fine to be out that I had to do considerable chasing to get them into the lane.

Wednesday May 14th

Frank and George went back to fix the fence in the gully this morning and about half past ten I went back to help them. I had been cleaning up shingles around the house before Dad. had to go (I wrote most of the foregoing while I was asleep, so quit and went to bed) down to Alex Jameson to see a sick horse. This after noon Tom came up to have Maude clipped and to get his fruit out of the cellar and they also clipped Mexico. He looks like a different horse. I spent the after noon gathering up shingles and got the worst of the job done. I went down town to-night. Frank also went down, calling some place I think. It has been warm and sunny to-day but looks rainy to-night.

Thursday May 15th

It was raining this morning so we didn't go back to the gully to fix fence but put on a small load of straw and hauled it over to the horse stable. We then put a small jag of hay in the horse stable. This after noon Enah and George & Tid. drove Mexico down town and Enah took George through the woollen mill. He was very interested in it. Dad. & Frank cleaned out the cellar this after noon and I cut and cleared up part of the lawn. We were to have gone up to Ham Thompson's to-night to play base-ball but Jack Martin came over and it was so late when we got through and a heavy fog that we thought it was no use going up. I went up for a little while though and some of the fellows were there. I rode Frank's wheel up but walked it most of the way home. Enah & I played duets on the piano & horn when I got back. Cloudy & drizzly this morning but fine after noon.

Friday May 16th

It was a little too wet this morning to finish cutting the lawn, so I went out and staked out the places for the little trees in the orchard. I can get two dozen all, but one in the base space at the north end of the orchard.
