Saturday July 29th

I raked up the lawn this morning and Daddy and Bill worked at the foundation of the drive house. I took the old lilac bush that Mr. Smith cut down and cut it up for forewood. I shovelled a little grout got some stone for them and fooled around till dinner. Harry Battersby and Clayton Ansby came over for a while this morning. Bill went home this afternoon, but expected to be back on Monday. This after noon Dick went down town and stayed all the afternoon. Daddy and I went over the gully with the mower and I mowed the weeds that Lamkins left. It was the first time ever mowed any thing and it was not so badly doen. After that I went down to the sgump for a swim and only had two dives. The water was about 20 above freezing.. Daddy brought up the rake which was across the gully
