Friday October 1st It has rained steadily all day and has been very raw and cold. Tom. Butler came in on his way down town and he and Frank went over to look at the stuff Flemming has for sale and then he came back here and had dinner. I didn't do any thing much but a few chores. Frank went home with Tom this after noon and stayed there for tea and all night so that he could put a fire on in the engine in the morning to finish thrashing at Art Quanbury's. Miserable day but good for the wheat. Saturday October 2nd Dad. and Frank went over and finished thrashng at Art Quanbury's this morning. Dad. got home before dinner and Frank went on to Charlie Munroe's with the machine. I took Aunty's milk down this morning and on my way back stopped in at the Zealand's He showed me various things about the place and told me I could have the house any time I wanted it, so I told him that would be in about three weeks I hoped. Dad. and I dug a couple of rows of potatoes this after noon. I went down to meet the Tuxis boys to-night but Jonas was the only one out. Sunday October 3rd Frank, Tid and I went down to Sunday school and church and Enah came down to church. Aunty came back over here to dinner. It rained this morning a little and has been cloudy and cool all day. Tuesday October 12th I have some way got far behind in writing this and can't remember precisely what happened from day to day so will have to make a summary of last weeks events. I think we finished cutting the field corn Tuesday the fifth working at it Monday after noon & Tuesday. We cut the fodder corn Wednesday after noon and Thursday morning. There will be quite a lot of feed on it considering how late it was put in. We spent the rest of the time up till Wednesday noon digging potatoes. We just finished that job yesterday after noon and got nearly fifty bushels out of the patch in the field. We have them piled out in the field. Thursday after noon Dad. had to go to be bearer ar Mrs. Tommy Jackson's funeral and I went over to Ern. Flemming's sale. Friday Dad. and I were over at Tom & Mark's all day thrashing and finished up there Saturday fore noon, from there I went with Art Quanbury down to {Ausen?} Abbot's to look at an old house which Art wants to buy to tear down and use the stuff to build his new one. Dad. went over to John Wess's for a visit and stayed there to dinner. Frank thrashed with Sam Monday morning and then they quit till after Simcoe fair but Frank
