All except Dick went down to church this morning. Frank and I went down first to Sunday School or what was meant to be Sunday school but was really just a practice for children's day which is to be held again in two weeks at the reopening of the church. It was sprinkling whent we got out of church and was raining hard by the time we got home. Frank wanted to go and see Mr. Taylor about his bees but I persuaded him not to, on account of the rain. It rained till about two or three o'clock and began to blow like {pen?} and is yet. I wrote a letter about the first thing after dinner, then went in the parlour where the rest of the family were gathered and enjoyed some music. About four o'clock I went out and fooled around and went back after the cows. Frank and I went down after five to post my letter. The creek was so high that Frank thought he would go down to the dock. The waves were not extra high but he was delighted with them. We got home soon after dark. No body went down to church to night. Dick is still feeling sore but is better. | All except Dick went down to church this morning.
