do you know about that the laying boxes i should add are made in three tiers but for some unknown reason the hens use only the two lower sections evid ently the starlings- through- so much wasted houseroom was a crime so they decided to take over the top section themselves you have to hand it to the starlings they make the most of every opportunity whether its in a henhouse or a mailbox i and another item of bird lore- the swallows returned a week ago may 1st to be exact it was far too cold for the stable doors to be left open at the top partner thought hemight have to cut a hole in the boards so the swallows could get in and out but they found a broken windowpane and were soon busily engaged building their wonderful nests on the old rough beams in the barn so we have swallows and starlings nest ing but we still havent heard the frogs nor is there any sign 0 spring seeding around here as we had another heavy rain last night the land is getting pretty well water- logged however as far as we are con cerned we have plenty to occupy our time even if it is wet outside we have our grandson here on at visit dee ond art came yesterday and left david behind for a while we wondered what would happen when he woke up this morning and found mummy and daddy gone fortunately he was quite happy and contented so we think the first real test is over just the same i expect by next week i shall probably have a lot more to write about as i think grandma is in for a very busy week however grandad will do his share if the weather is fit for dave to go out or if we get comp letely run off our legs joy and bob arc ready to respond to an sos any time last week was a busy week too one day in toronto and of course it rained and on friday night a unique experience at least for me i was invited to the first county rally of the girl guides in halura it was held in burlington and there were nearly a thousand guides taking part such an excit ed group of youngsters and all very much in earnest there were folk dances flag drills a first aid pag eant and 21 badge demonstrations the grand finale was the camp- fire with the guides circling the improvised camp fire and singing part songs with extraordinary suc cess considering there bad been no rehearsal and the companies were in most cases unknown to reach other it was an excellent demon stration of the possibility of group work following good training and discipline in each 1 1 iiniwenj our local group of which daughter was one of the first mem bers demonstrated the hikers badge and set about building a campfire with skill and intellig ence others were ccruauy good but we must admit the dairymaid stole the show milk inaids stable boys and farm hands came on to the scene leading a refractory coir complete with horns and a well- filled udder various attempts were made to milk bossy who altern ately sat down on her haunches got up and kicked er pranced around every whiehway it was so well done and of course the aud ience howled with laughter the next two days njyjime was taken up helping two octogenarian ladies who had lost an octogenarian brother all three had led busy and useful lives and although they are all over 80 this is the first break in their family circle those who are left feel very lonely indeed well my grandson has got tired of watching television and is now busy engaged bringing his whole collection of toys into the living room that is when he isnt loving robbie to death or walking around with his grandfathers gloves on his two wee hands with such an active youngster i am sure his mother is glad of a little respite especially as she had a most awful cold yesterday oh here comes mitchie- white so i expect he will get a little more attention than he is likely to wel- come what amazes me is theund- erstanding that seems to exist be tween children and domestic anim als unless children are deliberately r cruel animals will take an awful lot of mauling arid make no at tempt to scratch or bite david has already given me one attack of near heart failure hot with the animals but by getting outside un attended and falling down in a deep puddle of water getting his boots and pants soaked of course- he got out by unfastening a kit chen door that i thought he couldnh possibly open yes 4- really think im in for a very very busy week wp ir1ow stncj wimou cot or oblig tion
