When Dad. went back for the cows this morning he found the whole bunch as well as the colts in on the oats. They had broken one of the bars and knocked the other one down.

to reach home, he was afraid before Monday as he couldn't get his discharge right away. After dinner Dad. drove Aunty & Aunty Alice back down town and a big storm came up while they he was gone. I sat around and read and slept till it cleared off and then went out and worked a little more at the perennial border and Marion and I weeded out some more of the roses till it was time to go and get the cows. I went down to band concert to-night and all the rest were down town too. George, Enah and Marion were up at Ada's for awhile.
