to make two trips as the colts and Pommers wouldn't follow the first time. He brought Belle up and we trimmed her feet. Bill Sidway came over after a ram, we only had one ram lamb left and Bill was rather dubious about taking him as he was small but a very blocky little fellow. We persuaded him to take him and try him so we caught him and shut him up as Bill didn't want to take him in the buggy so in about half an hour he was back with the waggon and a crate. He gave me $9 for him if he will do. This after noon Dad. got the mower out to cut down seed but it began to rain as he was hooking up that he had to come in and it rained hard nearly all the after noon. I spent most of the time lettering a card for Dad. to mount his 10 ct bet on that he won from Harry Moon at Pinafore concert.
