We had to put very small ones on Pickford's waggon as the front axle was cracked and it is an old ramshackle affair anyway. Frank had to be very careful going downhill as there was a rivet in the bolster stake that caught under the rim of the front wheel. It was late when we got through and there are still three or four loads back there. Aunty was over this after noon for a few minutes with a card from Dick saying he had reached Roy's safely. Quite cold wind but fair to-day

Saturday August 18th

We pitched off the two loads of wheat that were on the barn floor first thing and Frank took Pickford's waggon home and Dad. and I haulked in with the big team and our own waggon. We thought htere would only, be two loads and that it would only take till about noon to get it but instead there were three big loads a nd seven shocks which we had to make abther trip after all it was seven o'clock before wwe got them unloaded. Frank spoent the day fixing the reel rods pn the binder and mowing away the hay in the ghorse stable so wwe tink we can get anothe rload in there. Enah and Tid. were down town all the after noon and got home just as Dad. was about to start after tea them at dark. Not so cold to-day. Sunny
