Sat May 7 A horrible day after raining
all night. Last night 80/100 of an inch
falling through the night. It snowed
and rained slowly about all day and
rather cold. Lew went to town with
the butter. Kib and I didnt do
much besides the chores and I
didnt do much of them but I
finished cutting and bunch the
slips that were in the shop.

Sun May 8 About 4 or five inches
of soft snow this morning and melted
off by noon and the mud is awful.
The new ditch co commenced to run
water to Long Pond. Mr Foot came
here to day and wants to stay a
spell and help us and so get his
board. We kept Sunday
as best we could.

Commenced running water into Long Pond.
