Thursday 7th May 1914
A rainy morning. Voltie &
John up early, the manure spreader
men didnt get up so early but the
man from Yarker voluntarily
separated the milk. Edith as mean
and devlish as ever makes me
angry. No one from here goes to
Kingston. R hailed Wallace when he
was returning from the dock to say
her cow had a calf and wants someone
from here to come over and tie
up the calf. John goes. R came
over just in time to ride back with
John, he is gone to plow her garden.
Sylvia went to Kingston to market. Sylvia
has got a sore throat. She bought
Samy a new fiddle. I borrowed 5
envelopes of Sylvia. E & E went for them.
I sent home Mrs Niles castor oil.
She wants to get Edith for Inez
surely she ought to know better.

Friday 8 May 1914
A very pleasant day. John finished the
sowing big field to oats and V crossed draged
it. I wrote and sent a letter to Grace.
Emma carried it to the road, and gave it to
Maggie who is going to the new p.o. for the first
time. Dont think there was much work
done inside the house this day more
than cook and wash dishes. I pieced two
blocks. Mrs Ranous came and I
gave her a few multipliers and some
flower seeds. Emma & Sylvia went to the
po; drove down. No letters. Herald and
a picture of the Alps & Farmers Magazine.
