after I got there and said to bring her down so Frank and Dad. went right down with her. Niel was very apologetic and told Dad. that he wouldn't have blamed him if he had sold her, he thought that Dad. knew he didn't want the cow on Saturday. He is a great old bluffer. Frank went down to the Women's Institute dance tonight.

Saturday April 26th

The ground was covered with snow this morning nearly as much as was on the ground any time this winter. It turned sunny and soon melted off and is milder to-night. We hauled over the load of hay we put on yesterday to the horse stable this morning and this after noon we started to put on another load for the cows but Ham came down and wanted to have a horse clipped so we didn't get it over. I went over to Tuppers early and did the chores and got down to meet the 8.15 train which is due at 7.15 by our time. Marj. came back to-night

Sunday April 27th

Frank and I went down to Sunday school and church this morning and I stayed down at Aunty's to dinner. This after noon Marj. and I went up to Huby's for awhile as Marj. wanted to take Lila some maple sugar she brought from home. Lila was feeling much better. We went from there to Miss Martin's and I left Marj. there to have tea. I came home changed my clothes and rode over to Tupper's to do the chores. Tupper was feeling much better and came out to the barn for awhile but got severely reprimanded by the nurse for doing it. She told him he was a "bad naughty man". His improved health is making him wayward. The nurse let him out for an hour this morning to visit with Wilbur Ryerse and he and Wilbur got on the sunny side of the straw stack and he stayed out nearly all morning. I went back to Miss Martin's after tea as I couldn't get down before church was out. Enah and Tid. went for a drive with Mexico this after noon. Sunny, cool breeze.

Monday April 28th

Frank and I took a grist to the mill this morning and went from there down to the lake and got part of a load of sand and some plaster to plaster the ceiling in the spare room. We also got a barrel of salt. Ham Thompson came in after dinner with Hugh A. Scott, who came to
