Wednesday July 25th Dad. plowed all morning and I finished cutting the five-acre field east of the lane and went about two rounds on the ten-acre corner field. Frank turned out the cocks in the five acre field as they were pretty wet in the bottom. He then hoed till noon. This after noon the Quanbury's brought our rack back and took their own and Dad. and I hauled in a couple of small loads with Joe & Belle and put them off with the hay fork in the big barn. We couldn't haul big loads as it was too soft in front of the barn doors. Frank cut with the big team in the corner field but was bothered a lot with the mower. He will have to go to Simcoe and get a new boxing for the pitman rod as the old one has cut out so there is too much play. Art. & Charlie were in to-night to tell us Art's peas will be ready to cut to-morrow. Hot but breezy Thursday July 26th We put in a great night last night trying vainly to sleep. I didn't undress completely but just flopped on the bed and when Frank came home from town he woke me up. Dad was running around trying to get cool and I was about melted so went and lay on the front step for awhile. Frank tried the hammok and Dad. the sofa in the hall. They eventually did go to sleep but
