out in the wheat which blew down last fall and has been holding Ivey's fence down ever since. This morning Ivey's young cattle were in the wheat and got over the fence there so Dad. thought it had better be straightened up. He spent the fore noon and he and Frank all the after noon fixing Ivey's line fence in the gully from the south creek to the big elm by the mound. It was in very bad shape so they took it all down and put in a few posts and stretched it over again. I hoed the potatoes in the garden this after noon. They are just nicely up. Tid was home from school to-day as this is the King's birthday. He was back with Dad. and Frank this after noon and they discovered a crow's nest so Frank went up and took the four young ones which were just about big enough to fly and Dad. brought them all up to the house in his shirt and put them in his big bird cage. Tid is highly delighted of course. Enah wasn't home for tea as she went down to the deanery meeting. Quite cool.

Friday June 4th

We have spent the day weeding and hoeing in the garden. Most of the stuff is pretty well up now and needs cleaning out. This after noon Frank went out to Edmond England's to see a sheep dipping and castrating demonstration which Neff was putting on. I went down town to-night and called for Aunty Alice at Col. Smith's a little after eleven. They were having a little bridge party over there and I got there in time for the cake and wine. Quite a cold wind & cloudy

Saturday June 5th

Dad. Frank and I went out again to the garden this morning. Frank planted some beans and Dad. set out tomatoes while I hoed and weeded. We hadn't been there long when it commenced to sprinkle and it gradually increased in intensity until finally it was raining quite hard. Dad. and I stayed out till we got pretty wet setting out tomatoes, we then came up and Dad. and Frank spent the remainder of the fore noon putting a floor in Joe's stall and I painted a show card lesson. The rain kept up pretty well all day and night. I went to sleep this after noon and the others sat around the house. I painted some more to-night. Fine rain
