spent the fore noon hauling out manure on the mangel ground. We got it covered by noon, and took the pile away from back of the barn and cleaned out the pen in the barn where we had the bulls all winter. This after noon Dad. plowed the mangel ground this after noon but didn't quite finish Frank went down town on some of his business projects and I cut the lawn. Olive & Jonnie Ward were over here to tea. I went down town and spent the evening over at the Monteiths. I went down to the beach on my way home and it looked so nice I went for a swim. It has been very sultry and rather cloudy to-day but it won't rain.

Wednesday June 2nd

Clarence Finch and Dr. Duncombe from Waterford were in first thing this morning and castrated George for us. Just as they left Alex. Jamieson & his son came in, in a car to get Dad. to go down to see a sick ewe or an injured one. They took Tid down to school and the boy brought Dad. back. Rus. Lampkins & George Kirkwood came in just as Dad. got home to get some more of the boiler tubes. Rus. looked at the windmill and said the boxing would have to be re-bobbited again right away. Dad. went out and finished plowing the mangel ground. He didn't quite finish by noon and was most of the noon working it up. Frank harrowed the corn ground over with the little team and this after noon he went to the mill and got a couple of bags of chop for the bulls and went over to Quanbury's and got the little seed drill and then rolled down the mangel ground. I did a few odd jobs this morning and about eleven o'clock rode Frank's wheel down town and gave Aunty Alice an hour or two in the garden. She told me last night that Mr. Johnson had lent her a wheeled hoe but it was too hard for her work so I wheel-hoed every thing I could and made quite a showing. I came home about three o'clock and cut some more lawn. Pickford came over with some pumpkin seed and delayed me quite a lot. I went down to Band practice to-night and went down to Wood's to get some shoe polish and found Marj. there so Mrs. Wood told me to come back after practice I did and went home with Marj. Two of the three boats comprising Capt. Robinson's "navy" are in the harbor now. He is admiral and Captains, Bailie, McDonald and Cousins each have command of one boat. Fine and hot.

Thursday June 3rd

I spent the fore noon sowing mangel and turnip seed. I got in 10 1/2 rows of mangels and about 11 rows of turnips, running from the lane to Ivey's line. Frank took the spring tooth out and went over his alfalfa ground and helped Dad. saw up the old willow tree
