Friday 4 June 1915
Another day bright day every thing
suffering for rain. The meadows are
short not much hay this year.
Edith watched the cows over on R.
V set tomatoe plants; 200 hundred
of our own growing. Work goes slow in
the house this day. Sylve came and
staid to supper. Gave her fish & rhubarb.
I received a letter from John which I was
extremely glad to get.

Saturday 5 June 1915
Awful dry hot weather. If there comes
no rain soon, nothing will grow
pasture all drying up now, calves going on
short allowance cows too. Edith watched
cows over there. V met with a terrible
blow in the eye by the whip he was driving
the bull with. Some how it hit him in the eye
nearly blinding him. It was so bad he
went across to see Dr Buchanan. Emma went
too. Van drove out in his rig with them.
Emma bought herself a pair of shoes $2,00
and 5 yds of gingham for Edith a dress.
