so Frank rode over on his wheel to get them but found Charlie Munroe had put them on his horses so he had to wait till Charlie got through tea and had his there too. He worked up the garden to-day and his alfalfa plot. He & Dad. ran out the ditches in the corner field this morning but Dad. has felt so tough with a cold that he didn't do any thing this after noon. We were till after dark getting the chores all done, then Frank and I went down town. I got my hair cut and as I was so sleepy I went down to Aunty Alices and spent the night. Very hot this morning looked rainy

Sunday May 9th

Aunty Alice called me at five o'clock this morning and I went to sleep again but got away before half past five. Dad. was milking when I got home. Frank, Tid and I went down to Sunday school. Enah drove down to church. I stayed at Aunty Alices to dinner and this after noon Marj. & I walked over to Preston's woods and then over here to tea. Frank was down at the Ward's and Dad. was to sick with his cold and an awful headache to get up at all so I had all the chores to do. I drove Marj. down to-night. Fine day

Monday May 10th

Frank and I finished cleaning out the ditches in the corner field this morning and this after noon sheared four more sheep. Dad. has felt very little better and hardly went out of the house all day Tid's cold is worse too and he didn't go to school. It has been cloudy all day and rained a little this after noon. We need it badly. Frank found a lamb this morning with a big lump on its shoulder and Dad. lanced it, and got a lot of stuff out of it. I afterwards pulled a long piece of straw out of the wound which looked like a timothy head with all the seed hulls off it.
