on the kitchen. We were down town till noon This afternoon we did up the chores and then went out and set up the last of the oats that were lying down. They weren't in bad shape either Perce Kind{--}'s boy came over to get three lambs which we promised him so we picked out the three biggest {illegible} lambs and weighed them up and the best one weighed 92 lbs. He is giving us 9 cts per lb. for them. We also caught one to kill for ourselves and Dad. got Pickford to come over to-night and do it and gave him a piece of it. It was a nice one too. Fine & cool.
Saturday August 13th
Cecil came over first thing this morning to put the beaver-board on and he and Dad. have been working at it about all day and got it all on but the kitchen is an awful looking place as it all has to be painted and papered yet. Bobbie Pickford came over about ten o'clock and he and I went out and turned out all the oats and hauled in one load before dinner and three more this after noon. He & Dad. hauled the last one and finished harvest. Dad. & Cecil helped us put the loads off. We didn't get through with the chores till long after dark. Winnie came over to tea and Mr. & Mrs. Millman came over after tea for awhile. They came up from Toronto in the car to-day. It has been fine and cool all day.
