Sunday June 5th

Frank and I drove down to Sunday school and Tid rode his wheel down. Frank stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and Dad. & Enah drove down this after noon and he drove home with Enah. Dad. walked back. I spent the afternoon reading "As you like it" to Marj. who feels very sick. She says she never was so sick in her life before. I am going to sleep on the sofa in the hall to-night. Sunny but cold wind. looks fair.

As we were completely out of wood Dad. & I had to go back this morning with the waggon and haul up a small load. We didn't get started very early and it spoiled the whole morning for us as it took quite a while going all the way back opening gates & fences getting around in the woods loading & unloading This after noon I planted the rest of the potatoes and Dad. harrowed them in and plowed in the furrows. He also worked down the rest of the patch for mangles. I went down to band practice to-night and went & saw Dr. Cook for Marj., she still feels miserable, but better than she did.

Tom & Mark came over this morning with their teams & plows and they & Dad. got in a full day plowing corn ground over between the oats in the long field & the side road.They got a lot of ground turned over but it is hard in spots and will take a lot of work. This morning I did up the chores and then took the little team out and rolled & harrowed the potato & mangle patch and started to sow mangles. I finished this afternoon getting in fifteen rows. About four o'clock I went out and started to roll down what they had plowed. We were pretty late getting throug chores as I didn't get the cows {before nor?} they stop plowing till after six. Marj felt better this morning but her head was aching badly again to-night. Frank feels better but the doctor told him to be very careful of his heart so he can't do a thing in the shape of work. Fine day not hot, looks like more rain.

I have not had a chance to write in this all week as we have been trying to rush the corn ground
