Frank Woodman & Wallace Niles there.
Voltie & I at home all day went nowhere.
I broke the Sabbath by reading "In all Shades".
Wellie says Eveline is going tomorrow to Clayton
with Reube but they may be disapointed for
so very fine a day this time of the year is
generaly followed by by [sic] wind.

Monday 8 Oct 1894
Wind sprang up
in South about midnight and
has been blowing half a gale all
day. Apples are constantly falling
and turkeys are picking them to
pieces. Maud gone to school. Grace
washing. Voltie drew a load of sand
from the foot. Barometer falling.
clouds are fast gathering in S.W.
for a storm. We had apple dumplings
for dinner. I gathered the quail head
beans and a few apples. The rain fell in
torrents from 4 Oclock till bed time. Frank Woodman
here in evening; his father got
a kink in his neck wanted something
to cure it. Frank Woodman [illegible]
Digman stealing our apples.
