day as finishing the stack took a lot of time. Kathleen and Tow were over to dinner to-day and Enah drove them down this after noon. Mr. & Mrs. Millman came up in the car to-night. They are all going home on Sunday Orm & Carlotta Turk came up too. Fine day pretty hot.
Saturday August 28th
I spent most of the fore noon cleaning out the flower border and setting out a little plant of bleeding heart and some iris which Mrs. Millman brought me. This afternoon I went over to Ivey's and dug up some more paeony roots and took a stroll over to Bronzie where I poked around for an hour or more. Dad. ploughed all day. Frank went down to Sam Law's this after noon and borrowed 30 bushels of oats which he took down to the mill and had chopped. Fine day not hot.
Sunday August 29th
Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school & Dad and Enah drove down to church but Dad. couldn't go as he had forgotten the tie strap and couldn't tie Queen up. I had a very hurried lunch at Aunty's and went to Simcoe on the one o'clock car with the band as we were engaged to play for the Oddfellow's decoration day up there. We had to wait till three o'clock for the {Coutons?} the highest order of the Oddfellow's to come down from Brantford and then we marched out to the cemetry and were out there an hour or so. By the time we got through it was too late to catch the five o'clock car so we were treated to supper at the Battersby house and got home at seven. Beautiful day
Monday August 30th
