Sunday August 18th

Frank and I and Tid. walked down to church this morning and Dad. and Enah were just ready to drive down when. Ade & Clem and the two girls came over in the car. as that delayed them, Clem drove Enah down to church and Ade drove down with Dad, who put Joe in Aunty's barn and didn't come to church. After church Enah went with the choir for a picnic and didn't get home till after church to-night, when Jack Walker brought her home in the car. Aunty and Aunt Ida came with them in the car just for the ride. Dad. & Tid stayed down at Aunty's for dinner and Frank and I had dinner alone and stayed home all the after noon and evening. Cool north east wind all day. Quite cold to-night.

Monday August 19th

We have hauled oats all day and got in five loads but there are still a couple more in the field. We put part of one load on the stack and one in the barn and then started to build another stack on the west side of the barn doors. The sheaves are shorter now and much harder to stack. Frank helped us unload and spent the rest of the time weeding in the garden. Still cool with east wind.

tuesday August 20th

We finished oat harvest to-day at noon. There was only about a load and a half left in the field and we put part of it on the stack and the rest in the barn. This after noon we started haying again, but just got in two loads. It seems awful to be starting at it again this late in the season. We quit early as, Dad. and Enah went down to the church concert which they said was very poor and Frank went down to the Ryerse's to a corn roast. I took Maple Hill Nellie up to Hans's. Enah was over at the Martin's this after noon and heard that Jimmy {Caley?} has gone so badly out of his mind that they had to take him to the hospital in connection with the asylum. Warm but not hot.

Wednes day August 21st

We finished hauling the hay that was cut to-day We got three loads in this morning and the third one we hauled around to the oat stacks and put the top of it off on them and Dad. topped them out with hay. This took quite awhile after dinner and then we had to do some mowing in the horse stable before we could get the load in so that
