didn't try to come up it but went home around by town and it was after twelve when we got home. We didn't do much else this after noon but set out 100 tomato plants which took just about all there were in the cold frame. I went down town to-night and after going up to see Marj. for a little while I went down to Aunty's where there was a little party going on in honor of Mr. & Mrs. Gordon who are here at Mrs. Skey's. It has been cold again to-day and cloudy this after noon. Looks rainy

Saturday June 16th

Frank has been over at Ben's all day helping him get his tomato plants out. He has had two or three men from the greenhouse and Bob. Leitch's team in the fore noon but didn't get them quite all out He had to work the land up as he went along. I drove Enah down town to get some provisions, right after breakfast and when we got back I went through the mangels with the Buko. up close to the row's. I got them all done by noon. This after noon I cut all the lawn and took some eggs over to Jack Dad. spent the day hoeing his potatoes and working in his garden back of the old barn.
