Monday May 4th

It rained for about an hour this forenoon as well as during the night. While it was raining I patched up one of the old road danger signs which had got broken in some unaccountable way and then put in a post to hang my new gate on. I went down town right after dinner to see if Azadouhy came back but there was no sign of her. Marj. told her Saturday that she would like her to come back Sunday night and that if she came Monday she would have to walk out. She was quite peeved when she left Marj. said so we don't know what to think, whether she is not coming back or whether she thought it was too wet if she had to walk or whether she is too busy getting her father another job. I was down at Aunty's for awhile and by the time I got home the after noon was pretty well spent but I did put in a brace between the gate post & the gully fence. I got some brace wire in town Quint & Mr. Parks went to Windsor to-day to see Aunt Ella. It has been rather cloudy all the after noon and quite cold. It froze the night before last and will freeze again to-night. I don't know what effect it will have on the fruit blossoms as they are well advanced some of them.

Tuesday May 5th

I made a start this morning at ploughing the peice back of the barn where I hope to plant my small stuff I started on the old strawberry patch next the raspberries and it is quite heavy sod and had several furrows in an the old windsor rows of hay which we never did anything with so I made a terrible mess of that it and rooted it up rather than ploughed it. Dad. came over just before noon tio ask me if i could help him get a load of hay this afternoon so I was over there all the after noon Frank was ploughing the corn stubble. It has been very raw and cold with sbowers at frequwent intervals.
