A very fine day only the wind blows quite
hard. Maggie Joslin came here from church
and staid to supper and now E & E & Roy R
have gone down the road a piece with Maggie
and Voltie has gone to shut the boat house
door for it looks like rain. Sharp vivid lightning
for 3 hours after dark but not much rain for us only
little.

Monday 13 June 1915
A bright sunny morning & breezy. V pulled the
nets out the river not many fish only rotten ones.
I send a letter to Grace which I have written this
morning. V sowing corn with drill; also beans,
sent Edith to Rachels for her vacuum washer
and carried a basket of strawberries and fish for her.
Emma washed 4 quilts rinsed them in the river
and hung them on the line. Voltie back not entirely
well yet but he works all the time. Ed McDermot
and Roy Rattray helped V pull the skiff into the
boat house, a very brilliant sun dog on the north side
of the sun just over Sylves windmill. Sylve & Ed here
this evening.
