Tues May 3 Mostly cloudy and
began to rain just at night and
is raining now. The boys plowed
for oats up on the pieces east of
the lake. They run two teams
Nell Beauty Prince and Dom.
They got quite a bit done. I
worked at the slips and got them
done and bundled up before
supper then after supper
I got the water a running
into the cistern.

Wed May 4 Cloudy and cold all day and
rained a little several times. The boys
plowed for oats this forenoon on the buckwheat
piece this afternoon. It was so nasty that
they didnt do much but the chores. I
chored around and finished filling the
cistern this forenoon and sort of laid
around this afternoon. The Larimer Co
Ditch had water turned into it May
1st but we cant see anybody to give
us any to irrigate yet.
Couldnt get any water yet.
