Friday August 1st

It was too wet to work at the hay to-day so Dad. & Frank hauled out manure all day. Dick and I went back to set the fence posts across the side hill field from the woods to the gully as we want to get the cattle in where we cut the hay off as soon as possible. The ground was so hard we couldn't make much impression on it with the post auger but got one post set. We then went over to John Wess's to borrow his spud to loosen up the hard clay and were over there till noon, but this after noon we made better progress by using the spud and I think got six posts set. To-night Dick and I went down town as I wanted to try on a pair of low shoes at Caley's but they were closed up so we decided to go to the show. We were just a little early for the second show so went over to Pete Holmes where we ran across Bob & Dess, so we took them to the show with us. It was "The Heart of Humanity" a war picture showing just Canadian troops. It was very good but very sad and depicted some horrible examples of German brutality. Roy Dell was with us and could tell us about the places, such as Vimy Ridge

Saturday August 2nd

Tupper was in the other night and promised to come over and help us haul hay when we got ready so Frank went over last night to ask him to come to-day, we also got Jack to send Hanselman over and we put in quite a day hauling with two teams. We got all the hay in that was cut but there is still the alsike two or three loads out yet. We hauled in nine loads, which wasn't too bad, as we didn't start early or work late and the bluegrass is very slow to pitch being so short and heavy. Tupper took in too big a load once and broke the hoist rope a pulley and banged the end of the barn out. The boys went down town to-night. Cool and cloudy.
