Frank went back to try to plow this morning but said it was very hard and the shear & coulter dull. Dad. weeded potatoes and I didn't do any thing much but clear up a little out in front of the house. Marj. went down town this after noon and stayed to tea. I drove down after tea and we went to the station and met Dorrie, the train was late and she was pretty tired. Dad. Frank and I weeded potatoes this after noon and got nearly three rows done. A little cooler lately with big winds
