back last week aeems like several weeks rolled into one when it sta we thought help for hay- big would be our only problem sor at reasor we had one the farm commandos out to help and were very well satisfied with the result it looks as if city help has saved the day for good many fann ers monday saw all our hay in that was ready for the barn tuesday partner intended cutting again and was that ever a break for me cause on that very day v was invited to go to toronto did t accept t well if i hadnt i would probably be stepping around in bare feet by now as it is my feet are anything but bare you see i went to a store that specializes in vorrectlve footwear and the shoes they sent me home with ore like herring bones without topses so i shall never be surprised if my family renames me clemen tine wednesday partner was straight ening out the mow all day in prepar ation for commando help nest day but the commando help was can celled because partners brother ar rived fo the day friday morning the real climax came when our son walk ed in or maybe 1 should call it an antlcllmax because from m wire wo hod received from him we umnlsed he was down n halifax or mel- half way across the atlantic however his visit was of short duration which was more than we had hoped for on sat urday morning another friend arrived from the city to help wlththe hay and of course i had phoned daughter that her brother was home so she cumn along too saturday afternoon 1 kaw n strange bike on the lawn- young john who used to work here had come up unexpectedly for the weekend but he had stopped off at the hnyflcld nnd was driving the team on the horsorake so with continued fin weather nhd plenty of men around partner got in iulte u hit of hay but naturally not too much because wo didnt wunt to take advantage of the help that wus so willingly given haying plus hot weather con be hard to take sun day night our visiting family were tall on their way again and i must con fess that partner and i are feeling a little limp however there is still hay to get in so i guess we shall just have to get over our limpness the best way we can yesterday afternoon there was a heavy rumble of thunder the wind got up and the sky was overcast par tner was shutting doors outside and x was running nround shutting doors and windows in the house and then nothing happened the storm passed us by there wasnt oven n sprinkle of rnln but this mornings paper tells of much damage done in the hamilton urea and we know that less than six miles from here crops were flattened is this district specially favored i wonder or will it be our turn next ttilu week we got something very very convenient and i wish wo had had it years nco it wont seem very exciting to you people with your re frigerators and frlcldnires it is only n secondhand wooden icebox hut believe me it is like n gift from the gods to us nt this time when the heat has turned the butter to oil and inab ility to keep u little bit of meat abend has meant more frequent trips to town than i care for but even an icebox takes some gt ttlng um d to i forgot that ice when it melts ntakett vater so that it wnsn t long before there was a nice little pool on tho eel lar floor the overflow from the drip pan uhlth it never occurred to mo khnuld be emptied we hove doucht it to thank for this latest conven fence i happened to mention one day that i wished ue had one and the next thing i knew she was phoning for me to get the transport driver to t all and pick up an icebox at a given address i guess we are pretty lucky because like a good many other things they are rather scarce just now of course my faintly has to laugh at me about it daughter says i arrange my meals now around the icebox and partner says i shall soon wear myself out running up and down maybe so but it really is a treat to know i can go down cellar and bring up milk that is so cold that it makes the grandest drink one could possibly have on a hot day i must run to the barn
