I slept through most of the night but every now and again would wake up and hear the other fellows rampaging around the fire and some time about two o'clock they all went over and raided Art Quanbury's strawberry patch, I didn't know any thing about that till morning. To-day I rolled the corn ground in the fore noon and hoed mangles this after noon. Dad. brought Belle out and we cultivated them. John Wess & Mrs. Cam. came over for a visit so Dad. went up to see them and Frank and I finished cultivating. Enah's brother and her father & Adelena were over here for tea and I rode down with them after tea and went to band practice. Marj. went down to Aunty's for tea and Chris brought us both home in his new Dodge car.
