of the potatoes that were cut and Marj. and I took a walk around by Ivey's lane & woods when I went after the cows. I finished one of my final examination show card texts to-night. Nice day, cloudy but warm
Saturday May 28th
I did chores and odd jobs this morning one of which was to go out and level down the mound of earth that covered the turnip pit. Dad. is plowing the patch again for roots and the hole where the pit was & the mound had never been levelled. Dad plowed all day and nearly finished the piece. Ham Thompson was over for the wool-box but had to go on over to Tom's for it. Tom was in here at noon so stayed to dinner. I spent the after noon painting my show card examination over again but didn't get it to suit me quite as well as the first one. I went back after the cows about five o'clock and got caught in a terriffic downpour. It has felt like a thunder storm all day and it came. Dad. & I both got soaked. Enah was down town and got a little wet too. Frank was to have come home to-day but he decided it was too wet I went down to the Tuxis boys meeting to-night and was in at Aunty's for awhile. Hot & sultry all day
Sunday May 29th
Marj. has been under the weather to-day so Tid. & I went alone to Sunday school & I went to church. Quint hailed me on my way home to look at a game he is making to run this summer and he wants me to paint letters on it for him. I spent the after noon reading to Marj. who didn't get up till tea time and then went back to bed again right after. She helped me count the church money to-night in bed. Hot and heavy thunder showers all the afternoon
Monday May 30th
