much of the field as we had ready this after noon which was about as far up as the mouth of the big ditch. I harrowed ahead of the drill till I got up that far and then I went up and started at the chores. Dad. didn't get up till pretty late and I had the milking nearly done. I didn't get down town till nine o'clock to-night and then Marj. who was waiting for me at Aunty's told me that she had told the boys I would be late so I didn't go up to the meeting at all. Very dry with a cold wind but sunny

Sunday May 13th

Marj. and I went down to Sunday school but didn't stay to church. Enah came went down and we came home to mind Frank who has developed a beautiful case of mumps and looks like a cartoon of a pork-packer. We drove Mexico home from Sunday school and Dad. & Tid drove him down again and they all stayed at Aunty's for dinner. Marj. and I had dinner by ourselves and then I did chores. I read for a little while & Marj.played and then we both went back after the cows. Dad. let them in the back field this morning so we had to go back to the woods after them and Marj. got a lovely bunch of wild phlox.

Dad. & Tid came home before we got out of the field with them as they didn't now we were back there Marj. and I went down to church to-nigjt. Mr. Edmunds from London preached and they ha da male choir. Tom. Butler was here when we got home, we did up the books to-nigjht. Quite cool.
