and one for Aunty Alice. I also got some ice and put the car out of the horse stable. We hauled two loads this morning and one load of barley as we didn't have time to go after a load of hay before noon. This after noon we hauled two more loads of hay, there are still four or five loads back there I think. I went down to the dam at the grist mill to-night and had a good bath. It rained quite a shower. Hot but nice breeze to-day.

Sunday August 22nd

Frank, Tid. and I went down to Sunday school this morning and Dad. & Enah went to church. I was home all the after noon. Gordon Zealand, Oliver Mann, George Ryerse & young Aubrey Wilson came over to see my birds' eggs. Enah and Tid went for a drive and Frank went over to Tom Butler's. He & Mark went down to church to-night. Dad. Enah & Tid drove down to-night to see Roy as this was his birthday. Huby & Lila went to Brantford this after noon and brought Aunty Maude home, she is going to stay at Aunt Lucy's for awhile till she gets stronger, she has got on very well so far. Or, & his girl, Carlotta Turk, and Kathleen, Tow and two boys came in at noon for awhile. Very cool all day

Monday August 23rd

We finished hauling the hay from the back field to-day. We got two loads this morning and as we didn't have time before dinner to go back for another we penned the ewes and milked them all out. Then we hauled the remaining two this afternoon. Tupper was in for a few minutes this morning. I went down to band practice to-night. We have three engagements booked. Boughner picnic Thursday afternoon Simcoe Oddfellow's decoration Sunday and a garden party or some thing out at Jim Ross's Tuesday night. Roy went over to the Point to-day with Quint, Dad. {Name?} and Jack Ivey and just got back about ten o'clock

Tuesday August 24th

Dad. and I hauled in six bags of oats to-day from the corner field. Frank had to go down to Sam Law's to thrash and it made it very awkward pitching up into the mow and mowing away for just the two of us, so that we didn't get as much in as we otherwise would have. I took some milk down to Aunty's to-night and stayed most of the evening. Kathleen & Tow were there. I rode or tried to ride Frank's wheel but made a bad job of it. He took Queen and went for a drive to-night. Fair and not too hot.
