too badly. Frank planted a lot more garden seed in the old garden and I spent most of the after noon taking a piece of chicken wire off the fence up by the hog pen where it was stretched on the other wire and put it across the end of the yard where I have the little chickens to try to keep them off the road and the lawn. Aunty Alice was over here to dinner and Enah drove her down town this after noon. Dad. & Enah went down to-night to see the Hobbes but they weren't home. Mrs. Hobbes has been moved and is going to leave Monday. Every one is very sorry about it. I went down to-night to a meeting that was called to discuss 1st of July celebrations, but as they didn't start the thing going till about nine o'clock I left and spent the eveing down at Aunty Alices. Marj. was down there acting as she said "watch dog" for Aunty Alice. They had a letter from Roy saying Quint was in Toronto.

Thursday May 29th

I went down right after breakfast this morning to get the little apple trees at Uncle Wards. I took Aunty Alice's quince tree down to her and planted it. I helped Uncle Ward take off a couple of upstairs storm windows as he can't climb on a ladder and then came right home with my trees and started to put them in.

It took me nearly all day to put them in and not them and I have for too much yet. There were 18 of them 12 of which we are snows, for Duchess one spine which auntie wanted us to put in 48 and one new varieties supposed to be all that its name implies, delicious. Dad went back with the team this morning and Frank went with him and between them they have worked all day on the back field. Dad went over to John whiskeys to see if you wanted his sheep shared. He said he didn't know how he was going to get it done so Frankie came up and go to the machine and took it over. John Lewis was working on the land but put the time in to help.

Frank was over shielding till 3 o'clock and then dad went over and stayed to tea. Frank shared five. Dad three and Wilber Ryers was in at noon and did two, one in seven minutes. Frank and I did all the chores up tonight and then went up to Ham Thompsons to play baseball. It was pretty late when we got there and the boys had quit playing and Han was knocking up flies.

Mrs Thompson made us sandwiches. Dandy,
