A cloudy morning no rain
but looks very much like rain, hope
it will. Edith went over to feed R
hens this morning. V sowing oats
working alone, no one to help him.
Rachel cooking beans for dinner.
Edith separated the mornings milk
& cleaned the lamps and filled them,
her mind is constantly filled with
Mary-belle and Madeline and Mort.
I sent a letter to the Family Herald and
weekly Star. Read letters from John & Grace
and happy to get them.

Saturday 24th April 1915
A misty morning, no rain since the 11th
but the farmers are hustling in their grain.
Voltie has sowed wheat, barley, oats.
Rain, Rain, the warm rain is falling
but it proved to be only a good sun
shower but it was of great benefit to the Earth.
Voltie and Jimy Kehoe went to Corners
rowed to Vans in V's skiff. Van told V to take
his rig which V did. They came at midnight. V bought
shirts, scribbler, olives, kerosine, gum and a pencil.
