Friday September 2nd
This ink seems to be getting redder all the time although it was blue when it was put in the pen. Dad. has ploughed all day and it has not been quite so hot. I went back this morning and ploughed a couple of rounds while he changed the coulter on the other plow. Marj. went down and had lunch with Aunty Alice and this after noon went to Simcoe to the Auxillary deanery meeting, she got home on the seven o'clock car. I went down this after to dig Aunty Alice's potatoes but as it was pretty late when I got the calves watered I didn't get many dug. I went for a swim before I came home. Quint has bought an old Ford car and is going around to the Hall fairs selling Hot Dogs. He went to Cayuga yesterday.
