Fri May 18 John worked about home hoeing
strawberry vines irrigating on the 10 acre piece etc.
and I had been subpoened [subpoenaed] to a suit between the
Larimer Co ditch and the North fork ditch as they
dont seem to know their ages and wanted
somebody to tell them but the North Fork ditch
had not got ready for the fight so it was put off
to the next term of court then I claimed
my fees and come home and have been
irrigating on the 10 acre piece since until
dark.

Sat May 19 Like the other days
of late only not windy. Johny hoed
strawberries and went to town. I irrigated
on the 10 acre piece and planted some
watermelon seeds and muskmelon seed.
Franks folks were here to day [today] and made us
a good visit.

Sun May 20 Quite a nice day and the
wind did not blow either. Johny went home
and counted up the stock at the Spring Canion [Canyon]
ranch. Lews Mary was here awhile and then
she and Mother went up to Charleys to see how
Hatty is found her a good deal better but Mother
says she looks sort of hollow eyed though now
Edna came home with them. I took my
glasses and Inter Ocean and camped on the
trail and about noon the riders came along and
turned me out some water from the Brandis
ditch and I have been spreading it since
irrigated ½ day on timber claim.
