and this after noon took in the circus getting home about six o'clock. They said it was a good show and they had a fine time. Frank and I put in the whole day burning the old grass and weeds out around the old garden and went all over the field from the lane to the road and to the gully. We had to watch it carefully in the old timothy stubble as it ran very fast. Dick spent the morning in bed and then went down town. Frank and I went down to-night and I got a pair of shoes at Andrew's. Quite cold to-day.

Sunday August 10th

Frank Tim and I went down to Sunday school and Enah drove Mexico down to church. Rev. Ralph Moon preached but Mr. Johnson was there too. I stayed at Auntys for dinner and this after noon went with the band down to Kitchen's point where we gave a little concert mostly sacred to quite a large crowd, there is a big crowd mostly country people down there every Sunday after noon. I didn't get home till nearly six as Mr. Zealand showed Uncle Ward and me all over his place. Enah went down to play the organ to-night and Ed. Moon came over here and spent the evening. Cool but nice.

Monday August 11th

I went back after the cows this morning and found five of them over in Ivey's and had a bad time getting them out. After breakfast I took the buggy over to Evan's with Mexico and was over there all morning while he tightened the spokes and set the tires. Dad. and Frank cut the oats on the side hill and as they didn't want to leave till they could bring the binder up, we didn't have dinner till about two o'clock. This after noon I felt very tough with a sore throat and cold in my head so went to sleep on the sofa till tea time and went to bed right after tea. Frank went down to the mill with some oats for chop. To-night Dad. Enah & Tid. drove down town to take Aunty Alice's milk down. Cloudy & cool.

Tuesday August 12th

We put off the load of clover seed this morning, put a new reach in the waggon and Dad. and Frank hauled up a jag of oats before dinner and got the rest after dinner. There was barely one full sized load but they were quite heavy. I haven't doen much all day, my throat is better but my head is water logged. Dad. Enah & Tid went down to the james' for tea this being {Eliss?} wedding anniversary. Frank went out to Bill Sidway's to-night. Cool 7 looked stormy.
