Aunty Alice so as I had to go up town, we didn't get home till about after noon. Both Marj. & the baby stood the journey all right. Gay didn't seem to take very kindly to Dorothy Mary, and raised a row when Ina went to put her to sleep. It was such an unusual occourance that we decided it must have been caused by seeing D.M. asleep in her bed. I tried ploughing this after noon and it went very nicely but was plenty wet enough yet in places. Dad. & Frank came out on their way home with some oats that they got at Jack Mason's and Dad. wants me to take Queen over to-morrow so that he can take some Manure down to Aunty's. Cold east wind this am. Milder to-night.

Thursday April 9th

I went over to the farm first thing this morning and Dad and I got two loads of manure down to Aunty before noon. This after noon we hauled down one load and went over to the factory and got a load of pea straw for me. The stack is about gone. We changed teams at the farm and put Pommers and George on and Dad. hauled it out here. I drove Queen out on the buggy. I got a couple of little maple trees at Aunty's which I set out along the road. Frank was working with the tractor on the back
