soil in the hot bed. The manure is heating well now and I am a little afraid of it burning out too fast. Dad. and Frank burned the grass along the road west of the lane where it will make nice pasture for the sheep. they said hamthompson was over again this morning he has a sick ewe up there. Another lamb arrive this after noon. Arthur McPherson has been over playing with Tid all the after noon so Tid has. had a fine time except when they found a little mouse under Frank's {bee hive?} and it bit him and later in the day when Arthur shoved him in the ditch and he had to come in the house and run around pant less the remainder of the after noon. They had a "net" set in the ditch and he had to tontent him self watching Arthur out of teh window who went down periodically to lift it. Frank went down town to-night. Sunny but a cold north wind.

I stayed down at Aunty's to both dinner and tea but spent the after noon and evening with Marj. and went to church to-night with Aunty, Aunty Alice & Louise I got home about twelve and went out to feed lambs, but as there was another lamb arriving I didn't go to bed till it came - about two o'clock and then just changed my clothes and lay down. Nice day. Cool breeze.
