Fine day. Charles and I dug potatoes for 3/4 of an hour before breakfast. Then I worked at the potatoes from 9.30 until 12 - finished taking them up and picked up a wheel barrow full. After dinner I went down town for the Mail and at then put new knob on my typewriter roller. At 4.p.m. Dorothy and I went with Mr. & Mrs. Bell and Jean for a drive out into Bentinck. I did not know there was such beautiful Scenery near Chesley. Hills & Lakes, and woods. Passed through Crawford
