all day, she was here till eleven o'clock to-night and I had to drive her home or at least to the top of the hill where she cuts through Preston's orchard as the mill hill is about impassable I suppose. They got the dining room just about finished. I helped for awhile this after noon painting the wood work Frank and I set out the rest of the nursery stock we got yesterday. He got a Bartlett pear tree and I got a mulberry which I put in the chicken yard and a hydrangea. Art and Charlie Quanbury brought a young cow and a heifer over this after noon which they are going to pasture for the milk we can get from the cow which I guess won't be much. Ham Thompson was also in.
