but cooled off and there was more breeze this after noon I didn't do much this morning but clean out the colony house and trim and train up my Dorothy Perkins rose which is growing so fast I can't keep up with it. It nearly covers the east end of the house now. Dad. and Frank shocked up a few oats but got soaked and as the ground was dry under the sheaves they left them This after noon being the day set for Boughner Picnic Dad. the baby and I drove down town and Frank walked down after he had looked through his bees and found there was no honey. Dad. had promised Tid. to take him fishing and he had been making all sorts of plans and building on it, but when they got down to Aunty's, Dad. suggested they go down and see "The City of Dover" come in, so we went down to the dock. Aunty and Frank came too and Dad. Frank and the baby went in to the fish shanty where they saw a big snapping turtle so that seemed to take the place of going fishing. Frank and I got a canoe and went for an hour's paddle up creek and didn't upset as we rather expected as neither of us knew much about it, Frank never having been in one before. Dad. & the baby went home but Frank and I stayed down at Auntys for tea and all the evening. We spent most of the time looking at copys of Fa's old letters and trying to find Cadillac on the map
