it, he having gone to Waterford the other day to visit his sister. He didn't come on the three o'clock car so as it was too hot and the flies were too bad to keep Queen out till the five o'clock car came in, we came back home and read till five when we drove down and got him. We nearly had a mess up on the bridge coming home. We met Jack Walker in his car on the bridge and when I pulled Queen to the extreme edge to pass him, she caught sight of the water below or something rattled her so that she wouldn't pass the car and backed off the bridge, however she didn't do any damage and waited quietly till the car passed her. Dad. got home from town about the same time we did and Enah got a ride home after church. Very hot.
Monday September 5th
I went over to Art Quanbury's first thing this morning to thrash and as there were only five jags of oats it was only about an hour's run. Dad. ploughed all day and Tid. took Mr. Clarke down to spend the day with Uncle Ward. This after noon Marj. Tid and I went back in the waggon to get a load of wood, but as Marj. got jolted so she & Tid walked back through the gully and looked for mushrooms but didn't find any. To-night Marj. & I took some cream down to Aunty and called at Uncle Wards on our way home for Mr. Clarke. This was Labor Day and the reunion at the school house. We had intended going but didn't. Quite a sharp thunder shower at noon and hot & cloudy the rest of the day
