Enah to Brantford tomorrow D.O. and Barwell wanted Dad. to go too but Dad. said if it was a fine day he was going to haul alfalfa. Barwell tried to persuade him that a mere field of alfalfa was nothing to a millionaire but Dad. doesn't see it that way. He says he may not care but the sheep & cattle will suffer next winter if we don't save it in good shape. The principal event of this summer for us was a month's visit from Miss Bain & Dorrie. They were here from the middle of July till the middle of August and we had a very enjoyable time of it while they were here and hated to see them go. I had Andrew Lowe out here for a couple of weeks hoeing mangolds & helping with odd jobs but he got a job at the fish shantys and now the mangolds are all weeds and most of them have not been thinned. We had a big family picnic out here one day while Dorrie was here, and all from Huby's Aunty's & the farm were out, the kids all had a fine time to-gether. They had another picnic down the shore with Nell Marchington's kids. Mr. Bagley took them down, he was very good about toting us around whenever he could. The Doodle-bug can walk well now but she is a puler the worst of the whole bunch.
