Wednesday August 13th

Dad. Frank and I went back this morning and started to put up the old fence along the woods that has been down in the grass ever since we came over here. We found that most of it was good enough when put up on trees and stakes to turn cattle but in spots it was rusted out too badly to be any good and one place it was cut. Dad. felt very miserable all morning and this afternoon he didn't go out of the house. Frank and I went back after dinner and put up nearly all of the fence that was any good but we quit at four o'clock as Frank had to get ready to go down to Dave Ward's and take Jennie out to Quanbury's to a meeting of the Moonlight Riding Club. Dick came over to tell me that the band was going down to Nanticoke to a garden party but I thought my cold was still too bad to go so went to bed.

It was very late this morning when we went back to work at our fence as it looked a little rainy and consequently we didn't finish it by noon but had about an hour's work after dinner, we opened the fence into the gully but didn't drive rthe cattle into their new pasture as we thought they would roam to the extreme limits of it and give us too long a tramp after the,m. When we finished back therewe put up a few posts along the top of the fueld east of the orachard and as soon as we can get a fence up there we will let the sheep in that field. There was a picnic from Dover in nanticoke this after noon and the band went down but i didn't go nor I didn't go to band concert o-night although I guess I could have all right. louise and Winnie wereover here to tea and Enah drove them down after and went with them to the icture show.
