Transcription

Tuesday 24th October Beautiful day. Dad plowed all day and I messed around. Frank's toe was so sore he could not go to school to-day but stayed home and wrote letters and ate cookies that Enah was making. I fooled around and did chores and such as that. This afternoon I picked apples. Dick went to school to-day. We all quit early so as to get a good start to the station to meet Aunty & Win. The cows came up of their own accord to celebrate the occasion. Frank drove down with Daddy & Enah on account of his sore toe and Dick and I went on foot. We left at the same time but Dick and I beat. We waited till about half past nine for the train. Cousin Clare and Huby were on with Aunty. We went up to Huby's where Aunty is to stay for a day or so and stayed till about eleven ten o'clock. Wednesday October 25th It looked very rainy this moning and Dad was going to haul in the corn but he thought he would plow till noon. I cleaned up a little around the {----yard?}. Frank did not go to school to-day either. This afternoon Dad just went out to finish a land that he had struck out very crooked before any one went along the road. I went out with him and opened up a ditch. Then I came back and bummed around with Frank, for Enah had gone down town to see Aunty and get some presents for Lila. She said she would be home at half past four, and did pretty well by being home a little after six and with neuralgia at that. Dad came up about three o'clock and we went back and got a load of corn but did not have time to unload it and had to leave some in the field. I spent most of the evening in writing this thing which I think I have kept about long enough now that Aunty is home. Then Enah got think she was funny and poured about a dipper full of water on me and then on my diary on purpose. {illegible} whats the {illegible}
