a busy day getting packed and ready and saying good-bye to all the neighbors. He stayed at the Pickfords for tea and Enah drove him down to-night. He is going to stay at Aunty's to-night and leave in the early car for Galt. Marj. & I went for a little walk to-night and were overtaken by the Doughty family who were bringing Dorrie back, they had been at Brantford.

It was rather late when we got the morning chores done up and then Dad. went over and got Bobbie Pickford to come & help us draw {our?} oats. We got in five loads all day and left the last one on the barn floor. There is still one load left in the corn stubble field. Marj. Dorrie and I went to band concert to-night. Fine & cool breeze.

Thursday August 11th

Bobbie came over again this morning and we started to build a stack. We got in two loads this morning and at noon Pickford and Arthur came over to help us. We got in four loads and then it started to rain and we had to quit. They weren't big loads but we could have finished I believe if it hadn't rained.
