the agriculturists in the district of the coming Sunday school picnic. Daddy and Enah picked quite a few raspberries over in the old garden. When I ran out of fuel for my worm's nest I came in the house and ate oat cakes that Enah had made this morning.

Daddy and I drove the little team down after some oats and got back a little after six.

Huby could not come over to-day as he was bearer at old Manning's funeral they took him way up above Simcoe to some Catholic cemetary. He could not have done any thing any way as the wheat was to wet to shock up no more was cut to-day but Young Lambkins came to see about getting the price of weedy hay over next the bush.

It was fine all the after noon and broke as if the rain was over.

Tuesday July 18th

Bill did not show up all day to-day. We think he did not come home from the Point as nobody had seen him around town although Jack Paine went off this morning. Daddy and I started to shock wheat in the field west of the lane this morning and finished all that was cut, some of it was hardly worth cutting with a binder it was so short. It was too wet to cut any more. We got through about three and came up to the house I had a snooze for the space of 15 minutes. Then we went out and turned over some of the wet hay cocks. We then wed mangles till supper time. Bill Lemons came through and told us all the news there was.

After tea Felix came after his butter and then Jim Waddle and his family came in and stayed till dark. (Then milking) Enah churned this morning and this {Margin note} p.m. went down and picked raspberries at Huby's she got a nice lot.

Nice and cool to-day probs. say local showers but it does not look like it here
