6 Cloudy but didn’t rain. Freds cutting. I cut the front lawn and it was as heavy work as it has been all summer except the first time in May. Stayed part of afternoon with Hester. Mrs Ben Woolner came up with Miriam & her friend and they had a game of tennis. Gave them a cup of tea etc. Very dark at night.
7 Thunder around 4 AM and heavy rain around 6 AM. Misty part of day. Baked bread and ginger cookies.
9 A nice day and the Jones family got out and we had a nice hour or more at the shore, no church at night.
10 A fine day and Harold Dennis came in the afternoon. We had fine weather all the week and Harold had a chance to study the Anne Country to his hearts content. He preached a good deal to me and rather got me down. On Monday the 17th we went to Town with Mr & Mrs Coffin and Harold got his birth certificate and on Tuesday the 18th went to Arlington with Mr. WP MacLeod. I came home with Marion that afternoon. Wonderful harvest weather all this week. Freds got the last of theirs thrashed out on the 22nd.
