more exercise, as she is beginning to show signs of foaling soon, her time is up on the 25th of this month. When I put her in I started to rake up the annual crop of sticks and leaves under the old willow tree but only got it about half done before dinner and after dinner it was pouring rain and rained all the after noon we just did chores. Art Quanbury came over for most of the after noon, his last ewe had a pair of twins last night but he can't make one of them suck so he came over and borrowed our sucking bottle to give it a feed and sent it back with Frank. It thundered a little this after noon.
