May 3rd. The wind still in the North West and cold quite a frost last night. Went to the farm after breakfast and found Bill at work. Hubert and Toby come over about 9-30 and they and Bill went after trees I dug a hole for an anchor post and Toby came home with me at noon and after dinner we went up and got the mare from Thompson, wemt over to the farm and brought home all the little trees they fug. Toby brought Joe home. After tea I went up to see Felix Perkins about the wind mill pump he promised to come to fix it on Friday. It is very lonely without Wese.
