Friday 22nd September 1908
No rain. A heavy thick fog envelopes every thing, can
scarcely see the barn. Arose at half past 4.
Sr gone to Kingston. Stella gone to school.
Not very cold; thermometer registers 60
and steadily growing warmer.

Irene, Schram and Beatrice came over in
Arthurs skiff enroute for their home to see Charley Sr and
Belle and all the others. They rode up with the mail.
V lent Frank Woodman his double buggy. They
all staid to dinner and Ethel too. Voltie brought
in sweet corn, squash, potatoes, watermelon, musk
melon, tomatoes and we had beans, cake and
custard pie. After awhile R came over and had
had no dinner. She helped herself from the
cupboard. Ethel washing for herself and Rach.
Devolson after shoeing his horse, and fixing the
pig pen, turned to threshing beans. P.M. Maud
ironing. Irene finished Mauds skirt which is
a beauty but she would not accept of any pay.

Eleven wee pigs in the pen. A letter from
Muriel also one from Grace, when Frank
and Irene arrived at home. They found Belle &
Charley gone over the river looking for a new home.
