Tuesday August 19th

Frank and I hauled out 9 loads of manure this morning and got it all out of the shed at the cow stable but at noon we had a very heavy rain storm which put a stop to outside work for the rest of the after noon, it rained two or three times during the after noon. I read, slept and wrote to Vernon asking her if we could stay with her during The Exhibition. Frank & Tid went back to the gully. This morning Dad. went over to see how Mrs. John Wess was and Mrs. McCarter said she was doing well but in dangerous condition.

Wednesday August 20th

Frank and I hauled out manure all day and Dad. hoed over in the garden. This morning we put all the sheep in the barn and greased the backs of the ewes which have the wool off. We separated the ewes from the rams and lambs and put the latter back in the orchard and will have the ewes in the field till the lambs are weaned. Dick came home to-night, he has decided not to go to Midland.

Thursday August 21st

We hauled out a few loads of manure this morning but had to stop twic eon account of the rain, however Frank said the field was covered although he would have put anothe rload on if he had time. This after noon Frabk drove Joe down and had her shoes set and had Dr. Cook look at hios eye which has been very sore for two days. There are some sort of pimple sunder the eyelid. Dad. and I took Belle 7 Harry out to start plowing. Dad. struck out for. aheadland all arounf=d the field but poor old belle was in. o mood for work after her holidays and it ook us about 3 hours to get once round the field. For the last stretcj i brought out the cow sprayer and scared he rinto he collar by spraying it at her from behind. Ban concert o-night. This was supposed to be Boughner picnic day but for once it was a complete failure I suppos eon accout of the rain. Fine after noon.
