Aunties and Frank went up town for awhile. we didn't see Dick again as he didn't get home till about two o'clock. We spent the evening home reading. Very hot but breezy. Monday August 5th We have hauled wheat and barley all day to-day and got our field cleaned by to-night We had six loads of wheat and barley mixed and one load of pure wheat. Dick stayed here to dinner and went down town right after and did not come back to-night as he has to leave on the seven o'clock car in the morning. Enah went down town to tea and took in the grand I O.D.E. cabaret in the pavillion. The rest of us all went down town say good-bye to Dick after we got the chores done which was about ten o'clock but when we got to Aunty's Enah was there and said Dick had gone to Simcoe with some of the crowd he though we weren't coming down. Enah drove home with Dad. and I walked I took a dip in the pond on my way. Frank rode his wheel down. Hot. Tuesday August 6th We put off the load of wheat that we hauled in last night and put it in the swing {mow?} up over the drive way so as to have it separate, it is the only pure Plymouth we have. Frank and Dad. hauled in the rest wheat off the back field to-day in three small loads. It took them a long time to get it off the side. hill but there is some very good wheat there. I helped them put off the loads. we put it in a pile by itself at one end of the {mow?} and in between tines. I tried to cut my plots back of the barn with the sickle but it was very hot and tedious. I got about a dozen sheaves cut and tied up but come it the conclusion that it was too primitive a method of harvesting for this enlightened age so about five o'clock I went down and borrowed Alfred's cradle and will let Dad. finish the job with it. Lila was over here to tea. Very hot, breezy. Wednesday August 7th We started oat harvest to-day and it has been very hot although there was quite a strong breeze. I don't know when I have felt the heat so much. Frank cut all day on the back field by the woods and got it all done but a little piece by the woods. {?} a great crop. Dad. and I shocked up but didn't quite finish. Frank and I went for a swim to-night in the upper pond off the mill dam. Its a great hole I never was in there before.
