I drove down to Aunty's this morning and got the scythe as we have to start cutting grass for the stock, we are completely out of hay. I drove around by the school house and took Tid. down. Aunty gave me some forget me nots and peppers to set out so I set them out when I got home. Frank had to go with Sam Law this morning to help him take a couple of heifer's to Jarvis so he didn't get back till after dinner. He said they got down all right but when they got there the cattle ran through every back yard in Jarvis. Dad. worked up the strip we plowed for rape last year and this after noon he drilled it in with oats and vetch for sheep pasture. He also worked up and drilled the piece back of the shop with fodder corn. I cut a little grass this after nooon and just puttered around.
