Monday Saturday April 9th

Dad. went down first thing this morning and brought Aunty over to play with Tid. They have been planning & plotting all week to go to the woods to-day but the best laid schemes of mice & men having a habit of going aglee at times they beguiled the time by playing Jack & school all morning and Tid. at least seemed to enjoy it, he spoke of going to the woods but Aunty assured him that it was too wet. Frank & I sheared the three yearling lambs to-day but didn't try to do any more as they didn't shear very easily. Frank telephoned Neff the other night and he sent down the wool sack and twine yesterday by express. Enah drove Aunty down town this after noon and Marj. got tea ready. I went down town to-night and had a meeting of the Tuxis boys. It has been fairly cleared up to-day but rained a few showers. Freezing to-night.
