Wilbur Ryerse came in and offered me six cents a pound for Oliver if I would take him out to-morrow morning. I told him Karl had bought him for five but I would see him to-night and ask him if he would let me off. However Karl came after him while Wilbur was here and took him. It seemed a shame to see him going for that price as he looked nice when we took him out, but there was certainly no money in feeding him any longer. Marj. went down this after-noon and stayed to tea at Aunty's and then went up to the Girl's auxillary meeting. I went down to band practice. Hot.

Tuesday April 26th

Dad. took Tid. down to school this morning and then went down to Aunty's to give them a half a day in the garden. He got home about three o'clock. Frank and I docked the rest of the lambs and then helped Marj. & Enah take up the parlor carpet and beat it. We also took some pictures of house cleaning operations. Frank and I packed the wool before dinner and didn't have much trouble. This after noon Frank went over and sheared Tom's & Mark's sheep for them and I started to cut the lawn but didn't get much done. Arthur Preston was over this morning and he and I started to have a nice little discussion on the lack of data to prove the theory of evolution, which for a wonder neither of us believe in but Marj. cut it short by yelling at me to help house clean. Arthur said he had been at the same job himself. To-night Dad. & Enah went down to "Pinafore" practice and Marj. Frank and I put the books back in the bookcases. Our bookcase looks fine with all of Marj's books in it. It has been very hot to-day and feels very rainy.

Wednesday April 27th

I finished cutting the front lawn this side of the ditch this morning and started to rake up the willow twigs on the other side but it started to rain about noon and kept it up more or less heavily all the after noon so I didn't do any thing outside but chores after dinner except help Dad. doctor Nellie's calf's horns. Frank took the wool down this morning and shipped it and got another load of kindling at the Widespread. Dad. cleaned out the cellar. Dad. drove Enah down town this after noon and brought Tid. home. He helped me do chores and then drove down and met Enah at the Barwell's where they had tea and afterwards went to Pinafore practice. Rain cleared off to-night & cooler.
