I drove over home this morning to get my load of stuff that I left there yesterday but Dad. said that he would hook Pommers & old Charlie up and bring it out for me and save me coming back with Queen so I took out a bag of oat chop & the coal oil in the buggy and was in no hurry for the rest so Dad. said they wouldn't be out with it to-day as he trimmed Pommers feet this morning while I was there and wouldn't get out before dinner and wanted to write Mr. Parks this after noon.

I came home to dinner and spent mostof the after noon taking down the ol dwire fence alomng the wets sid eof the orchard that the cows had so much fun jumping over all last fall. I won't put it up there again but move ot ove rto the brow of the hill along the trees where it evidently was originally &u]inclide the strip between the roahcra d& the woods O don't know what Charlie's idea was in putting it up wghere he did anyway, but I have never been able to fu=igureot Charlie's ideas in making any of the changes he did. There must have been something divine about Charlie, he worke din such amysteruious way his wonder sto perfoem Ina was here to-day. Fine day with rather cold west wind.
