I hoed mangels this morning till nine o'clock and Frank hoed in the garden & Dad. did chores, by then the dew was off and we went out and shook up the hay where the alsike was heavy & green. Then Frank got the rake & raked the far side first and before dinner the heavy spots were fit to rake. Dad. & I cocked up for awhile before dinner and we all went at it this after noon and got it all up by to-night. Tom. Butler went by this morning with a load of pear and threw off a couple of forkfulls which were loaded. Dad. Tid & I shelled our hats full and took them up to the house for dinner and and Marj. came out with us and got two basketfulls more. To-night I went down to band practice & Marj. went with me & waited at Aunty's. Mr. & Mrs. MacElvie came to-day and are down at Aunty Alice's now. Chris gave us a ride down and all the way home in his car. Very hot.
