Sunday July 2nd
Walked into sunday school this morning and rang the bells and pumped for church. There were only a few in sunday school consequently few books and I had a pretty cool time out under the trees. We all went down to Aunty Maude's to dinner.
After dinner Roy, Quint, Huby, Lila and I went in for a swim in the creek. When we got through and went up to the house Lom Milman came and stayed till about five o'clock and then I went home. I did not go down to church but went down after wards and stayed till about nine o'clock. I got to bed about ten p.m.
It has been extremely hot to-day. In Toronto it was the hottest day on record. In 1854 it was 99.2 in the shade but to-day was 101.
Monday July 3rd
This morning we got up fairly early and Daddy drove Roy down to the train. He came back with Bill Huby and Lila who is going to stay out here a week.
We moved away the load of hay we drew in Saturday and then Huby and I pitched out the old clover chaff which Williams had left where we wanted to put the hay while Bill and Daddy and Bill went to get on a load of hay. After that Huby and I went out and Huby loaded, Bill and Daddy pitched on and I drove. We got in six big loads.
Huby took of his shirt early in the day and then his under shirt got so wet he took it off to dry it and mowed away one load naked from his waist up in dread all the time lest some lady would pitch thistles against him.
It has been very hot to-day but there has been a nice breeze all the time
