didn't want to take time to get it loose. They got over about eleven and put up a few cocks before dinner. Sid. McBride came after dinner so Huby, Dad & Frank had to help him, they worked till after six but have the fence all stretched in fine shake but it isn't stapled yet. I just did up my chores when I got through raking. Enah went down to Maud Jamieson's sale this after noon but nearly every thing was sold when she got there. Cousin Clare was over for a little while this afternoon and Lila most of the day. Sid McBride stayed to tea and it was late when we got through and Dad. had to milk after wards. but Huby, Frank and I went out and cocked up hay. It was moonlight but rather cloudy most of the time so wasn't very light We worked till after eleven and got quite a chunk done. Dad. came out and relieved Frank a little while before we quit. I drove Huby home and got back about one.

Enah spent the evening painting the oilcloth in the kitchen and the floor around the edge so I had to go to bed via the window. One of the Scotch mail-men was in to see Dad. to-day about his horse which he said was sore inside. J.H. Butler died this morning and Capt. Spain & Mrs. Dave Turner are very low. Fairly hot to-day.
