Friday May 8th

Huby went around by Bobbie McMullin's this morning to see if he had our cart done but it wasn't quite finished. He took the other birch trees back to the gully and planted it out and set two little ones which were in the earth at the roots of the other one. Dad and I started to measure the distance from the road to the gully aong thew d=fence and orchard fence so as to get the fence we are going to put along the top of the gully the ame distance from the road (concession) at the east end as the west where it joins the lane fence at right ab=ngles. we got as far as the north orchard fence at right an when it was raining so hard we had to stop.

Huby. put some more burlap and paper on the walls of the shop and let this after noon dug some more of his s=ditch.
