Sunday September 26th

This has been one of the hottest days we have had this year. Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school and Dad. and Enah went to church. This was {Harvest?} Home service and they had the church looking very nice. Zeitha sang a solo. Doc. Lemmons & Lou. Dixon were supposed to sing a duet but Bill didn't show up. Aunty came. This after noon I went down to Bronzie as it was the only cool spot I could find. It was lovely down there on the point. I came home early and we did up the chores in good time. Mark and his sister and Winnie were here for tea and we all except Frank and Tid. went down to church to-night. Mr. Ward from St John's preached. After church we all went down to Aunty's and spent the evening Aunty Alice gave Mark a kitten which Miss Stephens took home in a basket and which howled terribly.

We cut corn all day. Jack Highland was past to-night about five o'clock and while Dad. was talking to him he heard a cow bawl so we went back to the gully and found Nancy calving. We gave her a little assistance and now have another red and white bull calf known as Bill Sykes Dad. and I drove down with milk for Aunty to-night and up around by Ham Thompson's as I wanted to see if he was going to Courtland to-morrow. Fine & cold.
