down to Dad. but as his train was late they didn't get home till quite late. Dad. had a {?} good time at the Fair I guess as it was a lovely day. Roy came up to-night too.

Saturday October 12th

It rained a little during the night so was too wet to do any thing at the clover seed this morning. I started to make a crate to ship Mr. Bent's ram lamb in but didn't finish it. Dad. and Frank cut up more wood and brought in the cabbages from the garden with the {?} and waggon. This after noon as it was a nice day and Marj. is going to be in Nanticoke over Thanksgiving day (Monday) she and I went after chest nuts. We went up north of Vittoria and only stopped at three trees but got a lot of nuts, they were thick on all the trees. We got requested to leave one tree by an angry farmer so we did. after we got all the nuts we could. It was a lovely afternoon and we got home before dark. Dad. and Frank hauled in the clover seed that was bunched up but the rest was a little too wet.

Sunday October 13th

Dad. Enah and I drove down to church this morning and I walked down. Frank didn't go down as he wanted to go after chestnuts this after noon early. This after noon I drove Marj. down to the Doughty's at Nanticoke and left her there to spend Thanksgiving day. They invited me to stay to tea but I didn't and got home here in time to have tea and do chores. Roy and Vernon were here but they didn't stay long as they wanted to to to church to-night. Dad. and Enah were down there this afternoon. Frank went after chest nuts but didn't get any. I don't know why. He went up to Bowlby on the car and cut across south where there are lots of trees, but any where we were yester day there were lots of nuts. I didn't go down town to-night. This morning there was a south wind and the air full of smoke which made every thing look very queer. A north wind got up about noon and the air cleared but got colder.

Monday October 14th (Thanksgiving Day)

We finished hauling in the clover seed to-day. We went back this morning and Frank finished raking and Dad. and I bunched up and brought one load up before dinner and this after noon put it off and got the rest in one load and put it off. Enah and the baby went down to see Roy and Vernon off this after noon. Windy & cool.
