Marj. got ready to go down and hear Mr. Hill the great English & Scotch evangelist which Mr. Robinson has here. Flossie told her this after noon that if they went they would call for her but they didn't call, so we supposed they worked late and Flossie must have been tired as he was at the Roy Hammond's garden party till one o'clock last night and down there again this morning to help clean up before Mrs. Roy was out of bed and she had been picking raspberries on the Wiggin's place all after noon.

Saturday August 8th

It rained in the night a little and has been muggy & damp all day, so that the hay didn't dry out at all. I walked over this morning and Dad. David & I drove down town as we each had to get some bread. Dad. & I cocked up the rest of the hay this after noon but decided it was too wet to rake. Frank & Tim cut the rest of the oats across the gully and Frank shocked some of them up Dad, Tim and I went for a swim just below Jack's place. I was going to bring the team home to-night, but Charlie Shand came along in the car just as I was ready to leave and so I rode home with him. Very hot and sultry and looks very much like a brewing storm.
