Friday June 29th

I woke up about four this morning and heard the water running in on the kitchen floor like the water out of a spout so got up and put a pan under it and banged my eye on the door while I was at it. About six Dad. came and called Frank to go after the cows, he had been back to the end of the lane but the gully was flooded so he didn't go down. Frank put on part of a bathing suit and got them he had to wade in water up to his waist. It must have been a terrific rain but it cleared up early and has been windy and sunny all day and by to-night is pretty well dried off. Dad. Enah and the baby went down town this morning and have been gone all day. Dad was going up to see Mrs. Miller to see if he could sell John, Old Miller was down to-night but didn't say what he thought about her. Frank and I made a post this morning and this after noon after spudding the thistles in the oats on the knoll by the old well, we went back to look at the ginseng and Golden Seal. The old ginseng root was dead but Frank located three seedlings. His Golden Seal looks fine. The wheat is just coming in head and looks pretty tough some of it is no good at all, but the hay has picked up quite a lot. I went down to tea at Aunty's to-night and went down to the station to help Marj. meet Glad Law, but she didn't come. We saw the three girls down there
