gathered a big bunch of may flowers. We came up through the gully to the house and found Aunty Alice here She went home before tea, but Marj. stayed here for the evening. Frank was over at the Sidway's and didn't get home till nearly seven but as I was home I helped Dad. do the chores. It has been a beautiful day, east breeze.

Monday April 19th

Frank and I went out to the Shand's first thing this morning and got another load of hay. They told us we could have enough to make up a ton but we put on as much if not more than we had last time and the last load weighed 1580, but Willie said they would call the two loads 3000 and only charged us $18.00 a ton for it. It was easily worth $25.00 according to what we would have to pay anywhere else. We put it all off in the horse stable and right after dinner we went up to Miss McCoy's and got a load. It took us quite awhile to put it on and coming out of the barn we had to make a very short turn and broke a trace but were able to shorten it and go on. We took it down and weighed it and it was 1910 but heavier hay. Fine day

Tuesday April 20th

We started work on the land to-day. I went out first thing and sowed the rest of the clover seed on the wheat and Frank went out and started disking along the side road. Dad. tok Tid down to school and then went out with Belle 7 Queen with the harrows. Frank had harry & Pommers and Pommers went off without a particle of trouble. They worked till about four o'clock when Frank came up to get the drill and seed as it looked so rainy we thoughtwe had better put in what was worked up although dad. didn't want to put it in without more work and without rearting the seed. Just as Frank cam eup it started to rain and rained till five o'clock so nothing more could be done. I dug around some of the little trees in the rochard this mornig and this affter noon did chores and mixed barley & oats for seed. Frank and I went down town to-night. I met Marj. after their auxillary meeting was over and we went to the picture show.
