We walked around the gully and had a look at our alsike and oats the former is a splendid crop and the latter is pretty good considering when they were put in. We got back about four and did a few things around and then Daddy and Enah went over to the McPhersons to see if Emery could come and fix up the Stable. Dick and Ferdie shot all the shells they had away but never got any thing. They saw an owl one that Daddy and I nearly stepped on over in the clover. The also found a hen's nest in the orchard with fourteen eggs in it and an old hen sitting on them. They were all good. I fixed my toe up which was pretty sore and went barefoot till Enah came and gave me a clean pair of socks.

After tea Dick and Ferdie went down town and I read a story in the strand.

It has been very much cooler to-day with a wind from the east. Some prophesy rain.

Sunday June 25th

Walked down to Sunday School and church and Dick rode his wheel. Daddy and Enah were coming down but Vyse came after Daddy to see his colt and so neither of them came down.

Daddy worked with the colt all day but says there is very little hope for him.

It rained a little right after dinner but Dick rode down to see the odd fellow's parade to the cemitary. I wrote a letter to Aunty and then walked down town. I went over to the park and found. Punk. Wiser, Stuffy and others at the gate. They told me it would cost a nickel to get in but I thought they were fooling and walked in without much trouble. I afterwards found when two or three fellows came and paid for admittance that Punk was getting all he could make there to-day. He has got the job of gate keeper for Buck all summer. Wiser and I went up town
