Tuesday June 15th

Dad. put down the dining room carpet for Enah first thing this morning and then took Belle out and cultivated corn till noon. It looked so dark and rainy that we didn't get the team in to plow corn ground as we had intended. I hoed potatoes in the garden till nearly noon and then had to go back to put the cattle out of the back field. It sprinkled two or three times but didn't ammount to much. Dad. and I cultivated and hoed after dinner till about three o'clock when we saw a terrible storm coming up from the north so we went to the house. The storm rolled up pretty quickly and when it broke it was a fierce one and lasted till nearly six o'clock. It let up at intervals and in one of these Dad Dad. went after Tid. I painted a show card lesson. I went down town to-night with Cliff Lown who came in after tea with the cream can. It was raining again when I started for home so I stayed at Aunty's

I got home soon after 5.30 this morning and went back after the cows. After breakfast I felt rather tired from tramping around in the mud with Frank's rubber boots on. About ten o'clock I went down to have Dr. Lemmon look at my tooth which the filling came out of. He couldn't look at it till about noon and said he wouldn't have time to fix it till to-morrow after noon. I stayed at Aunty's to dinner and didn't go home till after two as it looked so rainy. I didn't do much all the after noon except try to put a handle on an umbrella of Marj's. To-night I went down to band practice. We had it over Ted. Nicol's new garage and it was fine. It certainly is an enormous place. Every one seems to be of the opinion that Ted will never get his money back. Rainy all day.
