Saturday April 25th
I spent the forenoon hoeing one row of strawberries they should have been all cleaned out last fall but I didn't get it done and there is a considerable amount of grass in them. This after noon I drove Azadouhy down to catch the car, she promised to come back on the one car Monday. I spent an hour or so down at Aunty's talking with Mr. Parks and looking over the lists of property of the Dick estate. Aunty Alice & I marked several books in the library which we thought would be worth sending out. Mrs. Sidney McQueen ran into Elden Crosbie's buggy to-night and smashed it up a little and the horse ran away free of the buggy, no one was hurt.
