It poured rain early this morning and has been cloudy and wet all day but didn't rain much more. I took the hint I borrowed from uncle Lord home this morning and stopped in for a flying at cranberries. On my way back. Art was building a chicken coop and Charlie was remodelling his tractor. Dad and Frank had gone back to the galley to fix things when I got home as Charlie Butler had brought word that the cattle were on the road. I didn't do anything much this afternoon except write a couple of litres.

I sowed clover seed on the wheat this morning and Dad. and Frank strung barbed wire along the top of the lane fence and straightened it up where the colts had broken it down. This after noon I raked up and cut the rest of the lawn and put my wren house up in the pear tree. Dad. & Frank kept on at the fence. Broadley & Jason were here to dinner. I Went down to band practice to-night. We are going out again on Friday to help the school kids celebrate Empire day. Fine day.
