then Tid and I went to Sunday school. Dad. walked down to church and drove Enah & Tid home. I walked over as far as Mrs. {Woodion's?} with Roy as he and Rebecca came up last night and stayed there for dinner to-day. I slept for the best part of the after noon and then wrote to old Billy Beattie to see what I could get a good yearling ram for. Dad. and Tid. were all ready to go down town to see Joe Dyer and ask him what chance there was of getting Dick off on harvest leave but it got so dark they didn't go It rained hard for about an hour but cleared up about five and I drove down and got Marj. & Dorrie and brought them over her for tea and drove them back about half past ten.

Monday July 1st

I disked in the orchard all morning and Frank sprayed potatoes in the old garden. Dad. went down town to see Col. Dyer about getting Dick off and he told Dad. to get a certificate from Neff to say Dick was needed at home and it would strengthen his application. Aunty and Rebecca walked over before noon and Roy came over at noon with Dad. This after noon we all fooled around for an hour or two putting in mower sections and fishing for the bucket and chain which dropped down the well Saturday night. We got the bucket but culdn't get the weight so Roy wired an old axe head to the end of the chain. About four o'clock Aunty and Roy walked back down town and Dad. drove Enah and the two kids down. Frank and I went back over the gully with mower and I went a round with Frank on the twelve acre meadow and then brought the cows up and Frank went another round. To-night I went down town say good bye to Marj. She is going to Port Hope in the morning to go to a Summer school for a week. Very cold & cloudy all day.
