May Tuesday 10 1927

Heavy hail and rain storm started at 5.45A.M. but hail only lasted for a few minutes even if they were as large as peas and it stopped raining about 9.30. Took "Fly's" shoes off and {puled?} hydro-poles till noon. Dan and I cleaned out boxstall, 3 loads in all and spread it in root field and finished manuring the field. Struck out last two lands and helped Jean milk. "Billy" our first lamb arrived.

Wednesday 11

Struck out a land for Dan in sod field then finished the root field except 3 rounds around headlands when I plowed all day with the bay and gray in spite of a nasty drizzle at times in the morning. Plowed six rounds in sod before I quit to help milk and separate. Websters and Sinclairs were here for tea. We all have an invitation to dinner in Brantford on Sunday next. Cut Jean's hair at noon for the first time.

Thursday 12

A nice bright morning and I plowed sod all morning with my team. Dad and Mother, Carl, and Bobbie took Jean and I to Brantford with them in the afternoon and I had the beneficiary of my life insurance policy changed from Mother to Jean, Carl got a new Spring coat and Bobbie his first suit of long trousers.
