Thursday 27 May 1915 Weather is so cold that there was ice in the horse tub. I hope the fruit trees didnt suffer very much apple, pear, cherry, plum, strawberry. Wind North changed to SW and blows half a gale. V still fixing fence. Went to barn this evening on pig business. Maggie went away to day to the Brockville home. Sylve went with her to Kingsotn and saw her off on the train. Emma sent by Sylve for stockings and a few other things. Roy Rattray here this eve.

Friday 28th May 1915 Another cool day but little warmer then yesterday. Emma cleaning pantry to day. Edith and I washed dishes and I pieced on my log cabin quilt. Ed went to Byrons and Sylvie went with him in buggy. Mr De La Roche here peddling native herbs. V bought a box $1,00 one dollar. He ate supper with us. A talkative giddy sort of a chap 6 feet in height but he understands all the tricks in trade and business. He gave Emma a little sheet of music for his supper he said. V preparing ground for tomatoes and strawberries. Edith at home all day only when she went to R for washboard and again in eve to carry R some milk. I sent Grace a letter in which I enclosed Belles.
