May THURSDAY 16 1895

We have kept on with our tree planting to day as usual. Have got pretty well along with our job so that to morrow we shall expect to get through, for this time. There has been a very decided change in the weather since the frost of Sunday night last. It is very cool and windy. My neighbour Mr James McBride has been telling me that such a change would come.

May FRIDAY 17 1895

Jim has continued to help me to day as usual. We succeeded in geting our trees all set out this forenoon. This afternoon Jim and I have been fixing fences along the creek and at some other points where most needed. We find that our fences need but little repairing this spring which is not always the case. Weather quite comfortable and fine.
