I took Queen over to Dave's this morning and we put Dock with her and went to the mill with his grist and then went on down town and I got some stuff at Bill Laing's. Just as we were unloading Dave's chop at his barn, all my cows came down the hill on the run and I had a merry chase down as far as Evan's big field before I could head them back. I saw Sid. Marsh at the Charlie Munroe place when we came by so as soon as we got the horses put away I went over but he had gone so I took a took over the buildings. Most of them need considerable repair. It was by this time getting quite late so there was not much after noon left by the time I had dinner. I didn't do much but chores and clean out the colony house. Mr. & Mrs. Cornish were in for awhile this after noon. Another fine day mild and muddy.
