Tuesday September 11th

Charlie and Art Quanbury drove in this morning on their way out to Tupper's so I rode out with them. This is the first day Art. has been out of bed since he was taken sick a week or more ago, so I think he is plum crazy but maybe not. Frank rode down town on his wheel to tell Aunty Alice that we would likely not be able to attend her theatre party to-night if we had to thrash late and he rode on out to Tupper's on his wheel. I went over to Charlie's place with the boys and helped them put on a load of wheat out of Charlie's barn as they wanted to thrash a load for seed. They thrashed it first and then started at Tupper's out of the field. He hadn't a sheaf in the barn. I hauled in with Tupper's team and waggon all day, and we worked till after six. The wheat was in awful shape but the oats weren't so bad. He got 416 bushels alto-gether and 44 of them were wheat. Fairly cool but sunny all day.

Wednesday September 12th

Dad. and I worked both teams on the land this morning and Frank patched at the stable roof. Aunty came over at noon to tell us she was going to Toronto in the morning to help Vernon christen the baby. Bill. Philips came in just after dinner to get Dad. to go up and see Miss Mc{?} cow.
