Sunday April 3rd

Marj. Frank, Tid. & I went down to Sunday school this morning and Enah went down to church. Marj. & I stayed at Aunty's for dinner. Winnie, Lila. & Cecil Yeuriks were there. Quint & Huby had gone to Turkey Point with Dad. Hamaker. This after noon Marj. & I went up to the Bagley's as Marj. wanted to tell Mr. Bagley to make her book case of cherry. Cecil told us that it could be polished up so well and to look like walnut and was not much dearer than pine. Mr. Bagley wasn't home so she gave Essie the instructions. We went down to Aunty's again for a minute or two and then over to the farm calling at Aunt Lucy's for Aunty Alice who had gone on ahead and who came over to the farm with us for tea. We found Mr. James here when we arrived. Marj. & I went back to the woods for about fifteen minutes before Dad. & I did chores. Frank was visiting out at Bill Donald's or some place so wasn't home for tea. Dad. Enah & Tid. drove Aunty Alice home with Mexico after tea. Very mild all day but a cool breeze.

Monday April 4th

Frank went down and gave Aunty Alice a day in the garden to-day, raking up and getting it ready for the Spring rush. Dad. & I took down the stove pipe from the kitchen stove this morning and cleaned it out as the stove has been smoking badly lately. Dad. spent the rest of the fore noon doing chores and I started to rake up the lawn. This after noon we went back & got the rest of the turnips in the pit. There was more than one load & we hauled them in two small loads as the ground was soft in spots. To-night Marj. & I went down town, she went to the Girl's Auxillary and then she and Aunty went up and said good bye to Miss Monteith as they are leaving for Toronto to-morrow. I went to band practice but there weren't a great many there and we quit early as some of them wanted to go to the big dance in {nicall's?} hall which Johnny Walker and several others are getting up for the organ fund. Marj. stayed at Aunty's all night so as to be there to stay with Aunt Ida to-morrow while Aunty & Aunty Alice go up to help Lila house clean. It has been quite hot to-day and things are drying fast.

Tuesday April 5th

I sewed clover seed on the wheat this morning. Frank helped me carry the seed back and then he went up and he & Dad. started to patch the roof of the shed at the big barn. I finished sowing about half past eleven and as I was very hot and thirsty went over to John Wess's to get a drink. I got a drink of water and Com. then treated me to a cup of cider which is beginning
