Saturday July 8th

Huby came over before I was up this morning and had his breakfast here. He brought me over a pair of white pants to work in the hay with. After breakfast we went out in the timothy field and Bill started to rake up and then I raked and Bill, Huby and Daddy cocked up. I got through raking about eleven and then Daddy and I went up with the rake and team and then went back and cocked up till noon when we were half through. After dinner we went out and finished cocking up about three o'clock. I took a picture of the field and Huby & Daddy. Bill Huby and Daddy started to fix the hay fork and pulleys in the track. I went down town around by the stump. I had a fine swim the water was very low and warm. I went down to the lake and got home about 6.30. Pretty hot again but fresh breeze.

Sunday July 9th

Enah and Daddy had intended to go to Port Rowan to-day, but as it looked felt as if was going to be an "old scorcher" decided to stay to home. They did not go away all day and got a lot of little jobs done around the house. Dick and I both went down to church and Sunday School. We went down to Huby's for dinner. {Orm?} and Ade Millman and Shandy were just out of the creek.

After dinner I went up to Miss Battersby's and got some stationery and went over and copied out a list of the books in the library in the Sunday School.

I went to Huby's for tea and as Wiser had asked me to ring and pump I started for church but was a little late. I was just at Allain street when it struck seven and the church bell began to toll. I didn't know what was going on. Poor old
