Dad's hip has been very lame all day. This morning he ploufghed the piev=ce back of the old house which we are going to tyy to put in garden next year, and it is no good at asll where it is and lovely soil.I cleaned up a little around the yard. Daddy got through about noon. After dinner it began to rain and rained like "cats and dogs" all the afternoon. I read "The Old Curiosity Shop" all aft. about and daddy wroye to unty. About half past three he hooked up the little team and got Dick and Frank. He got the cowshe was all wet and I helped ilk.He got the lock of the trunk we have so. uch at open to-day. I went to sleep reading to-night bu they woke me up to play "Pit". I got even on them by winning two games.
