198

by noon, we made two trips of it but could have taken it in one load if we had kneeded to. It just comes up to the first beam in the bit opposite the granary in the old barn and is the smallest wheat crop we ever want to have. We spent all the afternoon getting in the rest of the hay on this side of the gully, there was were just two small loads. It has been pretty hot to-day.

Friday August 1st

We started to haul alsike to-day but although we did our best we only got one load in and un loaded this morning, we got if off about eleven so instead of going back we did up all the chores before dinner and Frank and I planted some turnip seed in the garden. This afternoon we did better, we worked till nearly eight and got in three loads, there is a lot of it but we think we can get it all in to-morrow if we can get out good and early

Quint went away this morning so Aunty came over here. Jean & Adelene with the McPherson kids this after noon Dick came home early to go for a swim but as I couldn't go with him, he went back, had a swim at the lake and came back to tea. Nice and cool to-day.
