I didn't think I would be down to-day but I wanted to know if Marj. was feeling better. I met Dad. & Frank at the factory with a load of pea silage which they were going to bring out to me but they said as I was not home they would take it home and bring me a load to-morrow. Marj. was feeling better. I called in to see Harry B. on my way home and he for the first time showed signs of wanting me to take him with me. Beautiful day again but quite a cold breeze.

Ina took the carpet up out of the front room this morning and I beat it for her. I didn't get a very early start as I had to go over to the school house twice first to sweep and then to dust. I didn't get over last night and it was very dirty. Dad. and Frank came out quite early with a load of pea silage and when we unloaded it they hooked to the road scraper. We had to pound out the hammer strap before we could get the draw bolt through the doubletrees and as it was bad to use a smaller sized draw bolt. I went with them as far as Evan's and then came home to dinner. They intended to go to the town limits and back this after noon but for some reason didn't get back. This after noon I went down and started to paint Jone's name & business on his truck I took Ina & Gay up to spend the after noon with Winnie Shand and as it was after six wnen I got back for them, Ina was having tea and Winnie invited me in too, so it was after dark when we got home. Just as we left there we noticed a few flashes of lightening which increased in number & vividness as we got towards home and finally there commenced to be rumblings of thunder, by the time I got the chores all done, there was a full fledged thunder storm in progress. It soon passed over but rained more during the night. Lovely day, warm.

It was still cloudy and drizzly this morning and has been much cooler to-day with rain again to-night. After I did the chores I went down to finish Jone's sign. I drove in at the farm to see what happened to them yesterday and found that Frank had had to fix a culvert down near
