Beautiful spring day, but very
warm, or hot, in the "sun shine." I went
up to A.F. Fairall's & was measured for a
pair of boots he is to "foot" for me.
Afternoon I used Henderson's "Dick"
horse to "cultivate the potatoes, Phil
leading him for me. I also went over
them with a hoe. I moved some
rye, the first I have cut. Willie
& Fanny came to spend Sunday
with us. After supper I went up
to the store for lamp chimney etc.

Very chilly & cold this morning.
I drove over to "Riverside" to see
little Rebecca again. Kate Stabler
called to see Dora. Afternoon old
Louisa Bowen was here for advice
& medicine. It has been unusually

She having passed a restless night,
found her better than I expected.

Still very cold for the time of
year. It rained quite hard last

I was about home all day, except
afternoon I helped J T Henderson's
"raise" a new smoke stack for his
engine at the mill, Walter Brooke
& A Bulwar besides Chas & Joseph
Stabler & others helping. It is the
third smoke stack he has put up
since he came to the mill. Lizzie
Scott was here to see Dora. I wore an
overcoat whilst helping at the mill
& we have had fires in the dining
room for several days.
