We then went over to the L.E.& N. station as Frank and Win had to come down on the car. They missed the one o'clock car but for some reason or other another went down at half past one so they took it. I brought the little saddle up in the buggy so rode Joe home. I didn't come very fast, but got home before Frank, who had been down town some place. When he got home, he Dad. & the baby went out with the waggon and cleaned up the rubbish around the old garden and the fence bottom between the corner field and the one north of it while I cut some of the thistles in the pasture field. This morning Dad, Enah and the baby went back to the woods and picked berries and Dad. shocked up some of the down oats. Nice day, cooler.

We hauled two or three loads of oats to-day and upset the first load on the side hill. It was a very neat upset waggon and all went and put the half load of oats we had on in a nice heap but didn't break a thing.

Wednesday August 16th

We finished hauling our oats out to-day. We hadn't much of a harvest, the oats and barley were good though what we had I think there were only five loads altogether and they together with the wheat just come up to the second {beam?} in the old barn. I am not writing this account very fully as it is over a week ago now since I wrote last. Frank took the mower back and finished cutting the weeds over {there?} on the fall plowing.
