Friday May 1st
I drove over to get some hatching eggs from Mrs. McBride this morning and was there quite awhile. She could only let me have four dozen and I wanted thirteen. I went from there over and got three more dozen from Mrs. Monroe. I spent most of the afternoon making a gate for the yard here so that I can straighten up the fence and yet have a way to drive in. Harry B & Zadouhy went over to the school house this afternoon to Arbour Day celebration. They had to celebrate inside as it has drizzled nearly all day and is still cold. The wind is now nor-west not east. Bobby had a heifer calf this after noon.
Saturday May 2nd
Tim came over this morning to get me to go over to help Frank as Dad. went to Port Rowan with Quint & Mr. Parks again. Miss Wood wrote and asked them up for dinner. I didn't get over in time to do much before dinner but right after we hooked up Joe & Queen and went down for some coal. I got the coal while Frank went up town and did the trading for both of us. We got back to the farm about four and then went over to Tupper's and got a small jag of hay. It was after six when we got back with it but as Dad. was home he helped Frank put it off and I came home. Zadouhy went down with the Lampkin's this afternoon and Marj. said she was quite peeved because Marj. wanted her to come back Sunday night instead of Monday. Very cold wind all day but milder to-night.
