Tuesday June 24th

Dad. and I cultivated the old garden and the mangels out in the field this morning with old Harry. I went sound asleep after dinner and dozed off considerable time, all efforts to wake me proving futile so they say. I had some cider before dinner I don't know whether that was the cause of it or not, after I did wake up I helped George a little who has put in the day making a bigger doorway in the end of the horse stable loft to let the hay in. Marion and I then went out and picked some strawberries. Marj. came over to tea and spent the evening but I had to go to Woodhouse with the band as there was another strawberry social on up there. We had a good feed and I got home about half past eleven just as George and Maron were getting home with Mexico after having driven Marj. home. Harry Ansley died yesterday.

Dad. went down and got his hair cut this morning and this afternoon he and Enah went down to Harry Ansley's funeral. Frank and George put the shafts on the cart this morning and I spent most of the fore noon correctoing the application that I ha dreturned for the sheep registration. It pured rain all the after noon soi we didn't do any thing outside Marion 7 I read all sorts of things this after noon, Irish Hisptory, Pope, Burms and the dictionary. Geworge and FRank and Tid. played & read. Dad. saw in the papers to-day that the Sinwerian troops had reached Toronto so was quote sure of Dick being home to-night and drove down to meet him ut he didn;t come. I drove down wirh him as it was too wwet for thre band to go to Kack McBride's where we were booked to play for the Presbyterian strawberry social. I spent the evening over at the Monteith's and stayed all night at Aunty's.
