I slept through most of the night but every now and again would wake up and hear the other fellows rampaging around the fire and some time about two o'clock they all went over and raided Art Quanbury's strawberry patch, I didn't know any thing about that till morning. To-day I rolled the corn ground in the fore noon and hoed mangles this after noon. Dad. brought Belle out and we cultivated them. John Wess & Mrs. Cam. came over for a visit so Dad. went up to see them and Frank and I finished cultivating. Enah's brother and her father & Adelena were over here for tea and I rode down with them after tea and went to band practice. Marj. went down to Aunty's for tea and Chris brought us both home in his new Dodge car.

I rode Frank's wheel out to Lloyd Chrysler's first thing this morning to ask him about the Fleming place He gave me Ern's address and said it was still for sale. When I came back Dad. and I hauled in a couple of jags of hay on the waggon box to feed up and then we went back to the woods and got a load of wood. This after noon we hauled in Frank's alfalfa and Dad. went down to the mill with Charlie to look at Herb's horse which he thinks is foundered. Frank cut the hay on the corner field to-day. To-night I went with the band to a garden party at Lamb's {illegible} and Dad. entertained Mr. Johnson from Sir Adam Beck's place and they had a great saddle horse pow-pow.
