we intended but went on into Simcoe and I got my watch fixed and the halter fixed. I drove Dad. down to Sam Law's corner when we got home and he went on down and opened Sam's pig which just lay down and died without any warning before dinner. Dad. says its lungs were full of froth and it has choked to death but from what cause he couldn't imagine. I went on down town while he was down there and got Enah & the baby who had walked down and brought them home. It has been cloudy & cool to-day.

Sunday October 3rd

Dick Enah & I drove down to church this morning and Frank rode his wheel down. The Millman's all went down to Aunty's & Aunty Alice's for dinner so they couldnt come over here. This after noon Marj. & I went for a drive. I got home about six o'clock and Mr. Millman was here waiting for Dad. to get through with the chores to go over to their place to tea. Orm. Paw & Quint were all back in the gully shooting crows so Dad. Enah, Frank & the baby all went over there but I had tea alone and walked down to church and spent the evening down town. Cool but Sunny.

Monday October 4th

This morning we didn't get up very early and I spent most of the morning putting patches of roofing paper on the chicken house roof. Dad. started to make a corn horse and as I was standing out there holding it for him I suddenly felt so sick and weak that I had to go in and lie down till noon Alfred came in to get one of us to go thrashing to-morrow morning he was here for about an hour and then Dad.went out and furrowed out the wheat ground and sowed the other plot of wheat for me and I raked it in and smothed the edges of the furrows he ploughed through the flats. I went down town to tea to-night and walked up with Aunty to a Sunday school meeting. It began to rain soon after tea and was such a bad night that I stayed down there all night. Quite warm all day.

Tuesday October 5th

I had breakfast down at Aunty's this morning but came home right after wards and got here about eight o'clock. Dad. & Frank were just leaving for Alfred's to go thrashing. I fed the chickens and found that thr roof had leaked about as badly as ever so I went up and put some of the tar on the roof of the colony house which had never been done. Dad. & Frank got home about noon so Frank went to school but Dad. had a headache do didnt
