Saturday June 9th

Frank and I went down to Aunty's as soon as we could get started this morning and got the grass that old Reed cut out in front on the road and we cut a lot more and brought it home in the waggon box for the horses. It was after eleven when we got home so I started to cut the lawn and finished it after dinner Frank helped Dad. (who has been working at the mudhole in the lane all day) till I got through with the lawn and then he and I went back and stretched a barbed wire along John Wess' line from the wheat to within a panel and a half of the little block of woods. We then came up and went over to the stump for a swim. It was the first of the season for us and I found the water pretty cold, so didn't stay in long. Dad. had a bad headache and felt sick just before tea to-night. Frank went down town to-night. It has been a very hot and sultry day.
