Friday July 4th

We got out fairly early this morning and had one load on by about half past eight. We left in on the waggon till noon and I took the team and raked up what was cut. When I finished raking, Dad. and I took the load up and then cocked up. We finished cocking up by soon after dinner as there were the four of us at it. When we finished cocking up we started hauling again and got in three more loads and put them off. Dick went down town to-night and Frank went out to see Bill Sidway. He says he is improving very slowly.

Saturday July 5th

We established a record for ourselves to-day in hauling hay. We got out soon after seven and hauled in nine loads to-day and had the last one in the barn by about half past six. We would have had another in but the big rope broke again this morning where Lew Brock sliced it last year and that delayed us for some time. Frank found it would take too long to splice it again so we used the rope Roy sent up last fall. It is an older rope and not so big as our own but seems to work satisfactorily. It was about twice too long so we cut it. There are still about two or three loads left in the field. The boys went down town to-night but I didn't go. I intended to go for a swim after it got dark but I went to sleep and slept till too late. Hot.

Sunday July 6th

Frank and I and Tid. went to Sunday school and church this morning and Dad. and Enah went down to church. Dad. stayed down at Aunty's to dinner & for the after noon but Enah came home. I went down right after dinner with my horn as the band gave a sacred concert in the park to celebrate the peace thanksgiving which was appointed for to-day. I came home with Dad. about five o'clock after stopping in for a few minutes at Aunty's to see Louise who came up Friday. I slept most of the evening. Frank went down to Ward's and Dick has been down town all day. Cloudy and very much cooler all day.
