Wednesday July 19th Dad woke me at five o'clock this morning and I got up at 5.30. It looked like rain and as Bill was not here we wanted to get started early to get the remains of the hay. Dick went down to get Huby and I went back after the cows. I tramped around in the wet grass in the gully for about half an hour and at last got them started. Huby came over for breakfast and we went right afterwards to pitch of the half load on the rack. Huby mowed it away while Daddy Dick and I went out and got a load. It took us a very long time to put this load off Daddy on the load I driving Dick holding the rake and Huby in the mow. We got the other half load in the field and put it off by one o'clock. In the after noon Dick went down to the Sunday school picnic and Huby Dad and I went out and got on a load of wheat. We took it into the barn and Daddy and Huby put it off and I went down to the picnic. I got there about four o'clock. They had Langdon's Ivey's big launch just at "The Bucket of Blood" on its way to be launched. I had a pretty good time at the picnic. It began to rain about six and rained till about seven or half past. I watched them dance for a while and then lit out for home while it was not raining. It began to rain as I got near Huby's so I went in and got his rubber coat and an umbrella. and started for home. It did not rain all the way home but started soon afterwards. Bill got home to-night and will likely be free in the morning if not too wet. Huby got home just as I got to his place. They got in three loads and pitched off two. Nice and cool to-day, cloudy
