Tom came over this morning and said they would start thrashing about 10 o'clock so I counted all the church money right after breakfast and then Frank and I went over with the team. We started as soon as it was dry enough and had a steady run all day till about half past five to-night when a shower came up and we had to quit with 10 or 12 more loads in the field. We found Cecil & Winnie here when we got home and they stayed for the evening. Winnie expects to take a holiday trip to Montreal leaving to morrow. Marj. & Dorrie went back to the woods and picked a nice lot of blackberries. Dad. went down to tell Landon Ivey about the death of his cow. She died Saturday and had a piece of wire next her heart.
