July Thursday 21 1927
Dan and I sharpened a mower knife first thing after breakfast and then hoed turnips for a while. Took in the 20th and last load of hay in field by house and one load from other piece before noon. Drew in 8 loads when Mr. Pifher came over after dinner and we had two teams on the go and we finished the second piece. Hydro men finished building our line. Started to rain just at bed time.
