I slept for about an hour after dinner and then started to cut lawn but as I had to file down one of the knives on the lawn mower I didn't finish. Dad's last crow died last night. He left the four of them out of the cage the other night and three of them left in the night This one was sick so couldn't go with the others. Hot, looks rainy.

Sunday June 13th

Frank Tid and I drove down to Sunday school & Dad. & Enah went down at church time. Enah went to church and Dad. went to see Aunty Maude, who is feeling quite a bit better. After church Marj. and I drove out to the Smythe's where we had dinner and spent a very nice after noon. We started for home about four o'clock but I just got Joe hooked up when a very heavy thunder storm came up and it just poured rain for about half an hour so I had to tie poor Joe to a tree and go in the house. It cleared up beautifully and we got home about half past five. Mr. Wilson (president of Mexico) was here when we got home so I drove him down to the side walk. I helped Dad. do up the chores after tea and Marj. and I drove down town about half past nine. We took some strawberries down to Aunty which Mrs. Smythe sent her. Frank has been making arrangements to go to New York State with Neff's party to-morrow in Irvin Pow's car

Monday June 14th

Frank left early this morning to go on Neff's trip through New York State. He was to meet Irvin Pow at the Winding Hill at a quarter to seven and as he hasn't been back all day I guess they got away. Lloyd Ryerse & Alex England were going in the same car and they were to meet the rest of the party at Renton or Jarvis. I spent most of the day filling in the missed hills of corn in the field and Dad. took up the dining room carpet for Enah who has the house all ripped up for house cleaning and spent the rest of the day cultivating. He took Mexico out this morning and cultivated what he could in the garden and a little of the corn with him but he was very ignorant and very slow so this after noon he took Belle, she resented leaving Rachel and so wasn't very interested in her work all the after noon but Dad. thinks she will be all right later on. I got through planting corn about four o'clock and then hoed a little in the garden. I went down to band practice to-night. When it was over I fell in with a bunch of the boys who were going down to Chiravaree Alan Law so I left my horn at Karl Colman's and went with them I went in Lloyd Crysler's car and so got a ride all the way home. We gave Alan a grand old serenade with bells, revolvers and an old steel saw which is kept for such occasions. Alan was prepared for us and treated us to wine, cider, beer and cigars. Every body was there.
