May MONDAY 18 1896

Have had Jim harrowing in the front field to day. He rooled the ground once as well. We have it now about ready to drill with oats and peas. I have been buisy at sundry jobs through the day. The Good Lord has been owning me as his child of late -- to the joy of my poor soul. Glory be to the Lord most high.

May TUESDAY 19 1896

Owing to rain last night and this forenoon we had to leave off our harrowing in the front field to day. Jim and I have been cuting some willow wood at the house this forenoon and part of the afternoon. This evening I took Maggie and my mother out to Port Dover, mostly to attend a District meeting service in our church. Had a great treat while there.
