train came in but there were no boys so we had our tea, Lila had come oveer to be here to see what old "Sunny Jin" would do when he forst saw them but she was fooled too. This morning I wanted to get started for town early but I was just putting the bridle on Belle when Whit Dixon came to see if he coulkd buy Erie and Artful, I asked him $130.00 but he beat me down $5.00, he talked for so long "understand" that it 10 O'Clock before Lila and I got started, and it was after 11 when Hubert and I got back with the plank for ther barn floor. We did not get it quite done before dinner and Alan Law got here with the separator before we were ready for him, but we soon had the floor fixed and he then put the maching in the barn and put his team on our roller and took it home with him. Hubert and I then went at the yard manure again and have the place for ther stack cleared. It has been a lovely day though quite a cool East wind, we are expecting the boys any minute now. 8 O'Clock.
