Wednesday July 5th

Bill went back and mowed first thing this morning and Enah and I went out and picked all the cherries. We got about ten quarts. of

Daddy went out and fixed the windmill and hoed some of the garden and then went over to Vyse's and got another piece of chain for the well and a pair of double {treds?}. When we got through with the cherries I went out and hoed the rest of the garden which looks fine. Then I went and started to rake up and mow the lawn that Daddy cut the hay off the other day but it will have to be snipped of with the sythe.

After dinner Bill raked up and Daddy and I cocked up and it was awfully hot. I raked for a while when we got on the level.

It has been another very hot day, but a nice breeze. Dick went down town to-night and got a fancy pair of shoes. He says that Huby nearly collapsed with the heat and had to get Dick Faulmary to bring him home but after undressing and lying in the grass for a couple of hours and having a swim recovered and is coming over to-morrrow.

Thursday July 6th

When I got up this morning I went up to Blakie's to ask him if he would keep his cows in his own pasture so as we could leave the gates open into the hay field.

After breakfast I chased the calves all over the orchard to feed them, and then Huby came and we pitched off the load that was in the barn and then went out to the field to get another load. Huby and I bunched up the winrows where they wanted to load. Daddy and Bill took the load over to Mrs. Battersby's and Huby and I went on cocking up what was on the level. They got back about eleven and put on another load. Huby and I went up to the barn and I hauled some water for the horses. The pump is broken and Dick went down to ask "Physicks" to come over.
