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.
Saturday September 3rd
Dad. ploughed all day again and got quite a nice lot done. I spent most of the morning just doing chores. Aunty Alice came over this morning with the awful news that Cousin Loll was dead. She was as well this morning as she has been for a long time and was walking down the street with Cousin Clare who had gone over to ask her to go to Simcoe with her this after noon. They parted about opposite the Hoan's house and before Cousin Loll got to her own house, she fell. Mr. Bagley & Mr. Hoan were up at the corner and saw her lying on the grass so ran down but she was unconsious and died in a few minutes. Of course Aunty Alice and Aunty feel terribly. Enah drove Aunty down this after noon and she stayed down. Marj. & I drove Joe down and Marj. took the church money to the bank and I dug some more potatoes. At four o'clock I went for a swim with Tid.
