Wednesday June 14th This morning I sawed quite a lot of wood and then went back and nearly finished planting the corn that the crows got. Daddy and Bill drove up to Marshall's to get the timber. Daddy came back at noon and left Bill there to hew the stick. After dinner I painted the pantry door and Enah started on the whole kitchen while Daddy went down to Vyse's to borrow a cultivator. Then we went back and he cultivated the corn while I hoed around the hills. About four o'clock we started off to get Bill and the timber, he had one stick nearly done so we waited and after quite a lot of fixing got it fastened to the wagon and started for home. I sat behind and tried to steer the thing and Daddy drove Bill walked most of the way. We reached home about eight, and unloaded our timber and had tea We got the chores finished about a quarter to ten. It has been fairly warm to-day and a little windy

Thursday June 15th Bill went up to the bush this morning to hew his other stick of timber and Daddy and I went back to the corn-field. He cultivated with Belle and I hoed. We worked till noon and had got it all cultivated one way. I tried to rig up a scare-crow but did not make a very good one. After dinner Daddy churned and then went up to the woods after Bill about 2 o'clock. I hoed till about half past five and then I went up to the house and found nobody home so I stayed there till six and then got sme more material ffo my scare-crow including a stuffed sack for a stomach and a couple of sticlks for legds and went back and fixed up a fairly good one. While I was back there I saw Daddy and Bill coming home with the timber and as I was coming up to the house I met Dick going to get some strawberries
