June Tuesday 21 1927
Had my first experience with a sick sow for a few years when I took ours for a visit up to Jack Hardy's. Called in home for a few minutes on way back. Jean came out to help me spud thistles about 3.30 and we worked until 6.15 and finished the big {piece?}. Jean Gregory's wedding and a nice warm one after the heavy mist cleared up in the morning. Mr Barker decided to shingle the barn.
