AUGUST THURSDAY, 26 1886

I have worked in the garden all day to day. Got our turnips all cleaned and thined out besides doing a lot of other work. Billy finished cuting the cloverseed & got the reaper put away for another year. I have got the binder ready to comence cuting our last piece of oats in the morning. The Good Lord has continued His presence & my soul has rejoiced in Him.
