Dad. went back to the gully after the cows this morning and found Mary with a big roan bull calf, we left her back there all day. Frank went over to Tom Butler's and sheared his sheep for him this morning. I planted some more seeds in the garden and Dad. worked on the corn ground. This after noon Frank and I hauled out some manure to put on a patch which Dad. wants to work up for strawberries. Bruce came after Dad. about three o'clock to go down to Bob. Dougherty's with him to see a mare so Frank and I worked on the corn ground I worked till Frank got the strawberry patch covered and then he took the team and I planted some more corn & my oats in the garden. I went down to band practice to-night. Fair and mild all day, sprinkled a little to-night.

Thursday May 20th

Dad. and I went back after Mary's calf this morning We had quite a time finding him as Mary had hidden him in the little gully running up into the field, and he lay there perfectly still with his head down as low as he could get it till I was just about on him. After quite a lot of trouble we got him up to the barn and I spent the rest of the day raking & cutting the lawns and got them all looking pretty nice. Dad. worked on the corner ground and Frank spring toothed the back field as we thought it would be a good idea to keep it loosened up till we get a chance to plow it for summer fallow. I went down to the Tuxis boys' meeting to-night and finished my collecting for the steeple, and got $46.00 promised Huby gave me five dollars. I went there last and stayed most of the evening, but called in at Aunty's on my way home where I found Cal. Smith, Cousin Loll & Mrs. Barwell playing bridge. Quint was there too. Very warm, shower to-night.

Friday May 21st

Dad. had to go down to Mr. Fleming's this morning as he had a new colt which he was afraid was not going to be able to suck but when Dad. got there it was all right. On his way home he saw Billy Mills who was very anxious to get Jack's sheep sheared so Dad. told him I would go over this afternoon. I sopent the morning digging around my hedge. Dad. came home and plowed the strawberry patch and Frank went dfown to Sam Law's and got a few plants but not wenough to fill the patch.I went over to Jack's with the c,ippers this after noon and sheared six of his sheep.They aremuch easier to shear than urs as there is no wool on their faces or the inside of their legs. Frank set out the strawberries this after noon and Dad. worked on the corn ground. I went down town to-night. Very warm. I saw kids in at the stump this after noon.
