the next day warning all the neighbors out to a combined shower, "chivaree" and dance next Friday night. Dad. went down town this after noon to see Roy and I spent most of the after noon in the church books and then went down and took a walk over the back half of Flemming's place as it is for sale now separately.
Monday June 13th
Dad. has disked all day on the corn ground but didn't get a very early start as we had to go back and catch the horses. I spent most of the morning cutting the lawn and Frank and I seperated the lambs from the ewes and shut them up to starve them preparatory to dosing them for tapeworm. I rolled the corn ground this afternoon. Frank has been visiting blacksmiths trying to get one to shoe Joe. Hallam has a sore hand and can't & old John Evans won't. To-night I went down to band practice. Very windy and quite cool to-night. Tid is all right. Marj. just about well but Aunty's tooth is very bad.
