ever afford to buy. I tried to put some tar on the colony house roof but it was cloudy and to cold to work properly. I walked down to the corner to-night and got my cream can which has been there since yesterday. I took some of Marj's rolls to Mrs. Lampkin but they were over at the Evans and Miss McBride was there. Cloudy all day but mild, showery to-night.

Friday April 30th

I had hoped to get away this morning for a loa dof coal but it was drizzling after breakfast and showeryt all morning so I didn't get away till after dinner. Mary ha da red bull calf first thing this morning dwn in the gully and if it had been a nice day I would have left them there all day but when it rained I carried the calf up to the shed and to-night I tied it up in the alley way in front of Mary. I had thought of vealing both calves but the kids especially Harry B.seem to like them so I guess I will rais Masry's. When I got over home after dinner there was no-one home so I took old Charlie & Queen & the waggon and wen downfor my coal. I got about half a ton and then went up to Bill Laings and got a lot of feed for my chickens.
