Enah spent most of the day picking blackcurrants out in the old garden. Frank went down town after dinner and got the mail which contained an invitation for me to a party at Mrs. Hobbes this evening. This after noon we greased the waggon and got in one load of alsike and put it off over the granary in the old barn. To-night I went down to Mrs. Hobbes and tried to play five hundred with Miss Prest, Miss {Keenan?} & Lewis Woodson. Ida, Miss Cowdry, Miss Bain & Miss Buckwell and Geo. Clark were playing bridge. Douglas Skey came in about eleven o'clock and young Robinson a brother of Ellies came in about midnight. Bessie Lawrie was also there. We weren't very late. Hot and dry but breezy.

Saturday August 5th

It just rained enough this morning to keep us from getting out at the alsike for an hour or so. Dad. and I went out and blocked up some more holes under the fence where the sheep get through on to Ben Ivey's. We then started to thrash some of my wheat out as they wanted the report to-day if possible. Dad. thought it would be too tough to flail out so we did it with our hands It was an awful job It took us till noon to rub out and clean one sheaf the Banatka. I don't think we got as much seed back as we sowed but it was nice quality.

This after noon we hauled in two loads of alsike but it bulks up so it hardly makes a hole in the field. To-night I went down to Aunty's and went for a swim in the creek and then up to the dance and had quite a time. Quint was there and was very anxious to go to Vittoria to-morrow to see the Miss Robinson's that are there from B.C. so he drove up with the Dunkin girls and I don't know whether he stayed there all night or not. I think he intended to. I rode up with them pretty nearly to Peter Bougner's and then walked home getting here about two o'clock or soon after. Hot.
