Saturday September 9th

We got up very late this morning I disked all morning with the big team and Daddy had the little team on the harrows. It was very hot and I was about half asleep and the blooming thing seemed to go all wrong. Dad went over this morning to see if he could borrow Mr. Vyse's roller but Mr. Flemming had it, so he went over to Mr. McBride's at noon and borrowed his.

This afternoon it was cooler with a little breeze and I finished disking and Daddy rolled with the little team till about four o'clock and then we put the big team on the roller and I took the little team up the poor little things were pretty tired and ringing wet. I did the chores up before tea.

Edith and B. Kain were here to tea. After tea we foolled around (see inside {Margin note} front of cover of this book). Enah and I went down as far as Martin's hen pens with them & Daddy went to sleep. Lila and Dorothy McCall were over too this after noon but did not stay to tea. Mr. Shey who had a stroke the other day and has been rapidly sinking died this after noon about half past five.
