Mon May 9 Some sunshine in
the fore part of the day and a cold
dismal rain in the latter part.
We had Mr foot helping us at the
fence over on the hill. We got the
posts set and are about ready
to streatch [stretch] the wire on it. I
have been bothered a good deal
about the ditch business to day.
This miserable Larimer Co ditch Co
want us to let them enlarge the
Dry Creek Lateral and run water
into Long Pond.

Tues May 10 Cloudy and nasty all
day and rained some several times
and is raining a little now.
Lew and Mr Foot worked at putting
on wire over on the hill.
Kib and I dug the holes and set the
posts below the orchard and I
went up to see if the head gate
would do that. Mr Birdsall was
butting in and helped a while.
