June 1 Sunday 1919
No Rain. A fine day every thing growing,
every apple tree like a snow drift. No one
here all day except ourselves including Bert, Maud
and Hubert till evening when over came the
Morgans ie Alden and Madaline. Then came Eddie McDonald
bringing with him Ogle. They hang
round on the back steps for awhile talking with
Maud & bert then they come in and march through
the kitchen & dining room directly to the parlor &
then the pow wow begins, hollering yelling
thumping the piano and they imagine they are singing.
Nearly 12 Oclock midnight
when they went home. This is the 4th
night V has been kept awake till late

Monday June 2nd 1919
No rain. A hot day. After all the rainy weather, I guess
a drought has began, tho every thing is beautiful
at present but no wind not even a small refreshing
breeze not a ripple on the river. After dinner
Voltie rows Bert over the river. But enroute for
Watertown V comes in time to do the chores bringing 6 gal of
kerosine. Then at sunset he goes back over there and
bring his own oil tank and 15 more gal of kerosine.
