Tuesday August 25th

We hooked up Belle to the buggy this and I called for Huby about eight o'clock. We drove up to Bickler's again. We stopped in at Andrew Smith's but he was not at home, Bickler's weren't home either but the man was and we went over to see Bickler as he was on another farm he has bought just south of Vittoria.We had a fine drive and got home about one. Dad. tried to plow this morning with Joe and Harry but had a terrible time as Joe acted very mean so he was glad enough to have Belle back this afternoon. Frank spent the after noo morning fixing the rest of the pig fence.

After dinner Frank and I started to turn out all the oats in this field but got about half done when Mr. Morgan came to see the English Wallnut trees and we didn't get any more done that day, but Frank & I hauled up a load of rails with Harry and Belle as Dad. quit early. To-night Dad. & Enah went down to a musical at Mrs. Hobbs and Frank and I stayed home to watch Tiddums. Quite cold this morning and cool all day.

We didn't get up very early
