came home the same evening
for which I was very glad.
I gave them their supper.
It was a very cold day and
evening. May has been a very
cold month with few
exceptional day. I know we
arose the next morning, the 10 of May
to find everything froze up hard
all vegetation as stiff as an iron bar,
ice an inch & half thick on tubs
and barrels froze all along the
shore. The 25 & 26th of May were
beautiful days, warm and sunny.
The fruit trees trees are all in bloom now
but the weather has changed again
and it is colder, dark wind clouds
from the S.W. Sr has this month
built a chicken coop we have 9
small turkeys and more hatching.
We are milking 4 cows. Bob Reid
