July MONDAY 27 1896

Owing to a heavy rain last night and this forenoon we did not get in the last load of wheat to day as we anticipated. Worked this forenoon at digging around plum trees in the orchard when rain was not falling. Went out to mill this afternoon with a grist, as intended. My wife went up to Fongers, with R.J. this afternoon.

July TUESDAY 28 1896

This being the day of the Delhi excursion to Port Dover, my wife and I thought best to meet the friends there, so we have spent the most of the day there with our whole family except Jim. There was a big crowd there. Had a very pleasant time. Our Chatham friend R. J. Winter being with us. A heavy rain somewhat marred the close of the day.
