Thursday June 8th

I was very sleepy this morning when Dad called me and have been sleepy all day.

After breakfast I sawed enough wood for the day, and then went out and spread manure. I only got one row spread to-day and had several rests and one or two naps. Daddy pitched on to-day and Bill hauled out Huby has not been over at all to-day.

After dinner I lay down on the sofa to read "Peck's Bad Boy" and went to sleep and remaind in that state till two o'clock, when I went out and spread after dumping Enah's wash water out of the machine. I quit about four and went to rest under an elm back in the gulsh. I could hear them yelling over at the school-house where they were playing baseball. Dover vs. Simcoe return game.

About five I went up with Bill and cleaned out the horse stable. When Dick came home he in formed us that Simcoe had beat by some strange kind of luck the score being 9 - 4 He said that their playing was very bad and Dover's pretty good. - but - After tea I milked Bobby and tried to feed the kittens but they would wallow around in the milk and upset it. Bill and Dick have gone down town to-night.

It has been pretty warm all day to-day but not too hot and there has been a nice breeze and a few clouds. It is now nine o'clock and time for me to retire. I'll see if {I c}an have more of slumber will {it} make me feel better on the morrow
