Tuesday 28 1917 It rains this day so cant work in field and now have to wait a few days for the grain to dry out.
Wednesday 29 August 1917 No grain drawing to day. drawing stone for cement. Almond Joslin very bad, had convulsions. received a letter from Belle saying she is coming to Vans Sunday and for Voltie to meet her there with a boat if the weather is good. Emma washing all day.
Thursday 30th 1917 August A rainy morning. Arise early it makes no difference about rain. Voltie drives to dock with Will and Edith carrying Rachels eggs. Then V drives around by the factory seems a long time since he went but he comes at last. The rain clears and a fine pm follows. Emma does a pile of work cleaning windows hanging out so many clothes. long lines full, cooks and prepares for supper. They all come Grace and her family all well and happy Joe, Samy & Gale here in evening.
Friday 31st August 1917 This Friday is a grand beautiful day. warm atmosphere so clear. V & Will drawing stone for mixing concrete for barn floor. I crochet nearly all day on a bread tray doily for Grace. The usual amount of business, goes on cooking, Emma brought in the clothes from the lines. Poor Almond Joslin died this morning after being so long helpless with paralysis. A quire [choir] practice this evening at Woodmans (W.H.) A telephone ring for Emma to attend. Joe drives here for Emma. She goes accompanied by Margaret. Grace rec'd a letter from Maud saying Bert is going to camp and drill for the war.
