take the team out but spread the manure that was piled out there. I went down to band practice to-night

Thursday May 7th

I ploughed this morning and this after noon rolled down the peas and what I had ploughed and got in about an hour's ploughing afterwards Mabel came over to tea, and Marj. walked part way home with her to-night and called on the Lampkins on her way back. I was dead sleepy. Still very cold, cloudy and showery. Rotten weather

Friday May 8th

I walked over to Tom. Stone's this morning to see if I could get a load of hay. I found I could and could have Tom's waggon & rack to haul it on. When I got home I found Aunty Alice & Quint here but they only stayed a very few minutes. It was about 11 o'clock when I got back to Tom's with the team and by the time we put the rack on the waggon & Tom. had put on a load it was after noon. I didn't unload it till after dinner and it took me about an hour to do it alone as I had to get up quite often to mow away. After I got it off we all went down town. Harry B. had gone down before with Quint & Aunty Alice. We had quite a load coming home as we all five got packed into the buggy but we got here safely, we had to leave the coal oil can at Aunty's but Quint broguht it over after tea. We stopped in at the farm and I got $10. from Dad. to pay for the hay. Dad. got some of his fortune in advance from Mr. Parks. It has been a beautiful sunny day but cool wind.
