three o'clock. Stayed at Aunty's to tea and went to church with them to-night. They have started having church at 7.30 for the summer instead of 7 o'clock. I spent Most of the evening up at Cousin Loll's. Marj. was at Essie's Brithday party. It was pausing rain when I started home so I stayed all night at Aunty's. It has been cloudy all day and it looks like an all night rain
Monday June 10th
I didn't get up very early this morning and had break fast down at Aunty's so Dad. was about through the milking when I got home. Frank and I stretched a barbed wire along the west side of the lane as part way up the lane as the colts have been bending the fence badly reaching over to eat the wheat. Dad. plowed and disked the garden back of the shop to-day. This after noon Aut Quanbury came over to help me put in fence posts so we worked at it all the after noon. I borrowed Pickford's auger and we got it all the posts along the side road but the two brace posts and got four in along the north side of the field. Ham came down and he and Frank finished planting the corn. To-night Frank and I went over to the J.R.I.A.
