Monday April 28th

This morning Dad and Toby packed trhe sawdust in around rhe edge of the ice-house and put some some blue-grass on the top. Then we went put and cleaned up about 20 bushels of oats. Frank was sick all day and did not go to school. I think he feels better now as he is talking ablue streak.

After dinner dad went out and cleaned out ditches in the north-west field this side of the gulch. Toby did the chores in the afternoon and then went out and dug up trwo maple trees in the woods besides fooling around picjing fowers. Between 4 and 6 o'clock while Frank was sleeping on the kitchen sofa and Enah was in the dining room some unknown person came in and left a silver spoon on the kitchen table for Tiddums with his initials carved on it and then went away before anyone saw her or him. It was cloudy and windy all day with about tewn minutes sunshine.
