Sat., 8/9 Arose rather late, since the old coon never got chance to annoy me. After breakfast went huckleberry picking, nearly 6 qt. Will finish for 12 qt. tomorrow, then for a ride the country and expect to go home Monday. I would not want to stay here long.
Sun., 8/10 Up rather late. Marcellus Skinner came and ask if I just would sit & stay until Diana came home but it will be ten days yet so I am afraid I will not be here. Spent the morning taking pictures. First time for me upon a horse. Rode to town with the children and came back to a good meal of spuds and corn cream and wheat and berries. Spent all late afernoon until dusk in mountains picking berries. I believe I begin to love this easy life, no worry or hurry.
