Monday 21st September 1908
No rain. Smoky. Voltie gone to Flynns
to thresh; finished there, moved the machine
to Morgans; ate dinner there, finished
threshing and came home at 3 p.m.
then threshed beans &c Len Patersons wife
Cassie & Ethel Woodmans here for
tomatoes. They left them here while they
went down the shore looking for hickory nuts on
Snyders. And as Snider had started
to come here to see if V could shoe his horse and was
walking fast with club in hand consequently
nearly came unaware upon the nut gathers
who started and ran while Snider for
fun ran after them. And they were
frightened of course at nothing.
I make sweet apple preserves. Ethel
and R came over. In evening
the Dignums drive here with Ethel calling
for Maude and Stella to go visiting at
Geo Gillespies. Maud goes Stella stays home
and helps me wash dishes and goes to
bed with tooth ache. Poor dear girl.
