Huby said Bill had walked down from Normandale and was nearly "all in" when he got to his place. Hence the delay on Bill's part. We soon got that load off Huby and I in the mow Bill on the load and Daddy with the team. We got on fine and Sam. Robinson drove in just as we were going to put up the first forkfull and corrected a fenderross in the putting up. This load off all have went to the field and we got in three loads before tea. After tea I did the chores and Daddy and Bill went and got on another load while Huby mowed away what was left from before tea. I helped after I got through and then we put off the load they brought in for the field but did not mow it away. We all sat out on the grass and talked awhile and heard a {Margin note} very noisome shivaree which we thought was one of the effects of the marriage between Mrs. Jackman and Joe Clark, a turkey point fisherman. Quint and Huby went home and Bill and the rest of us retired. It has been nice to day a strong sou'west wind all day.

Tuesday July 11th

Huby was over before breakfast this morning. He and I went out right after breakfast and moved away the load they put in last night. We have to do this as there is noit time to do it while they are putting it off. Bill and Daddy went and got another load and when Huby and I got done in the mow we went out in front and worked at the lawns till they brought the load in and then we took about half and hour to mow it away. Then we went out and got a big block of lawn mowed. Huby cut the grass with the sythe and lawn mower and I raked. The next load and last that was cur they left in the big barn, and Bill took the horses and went out and mowed till noon. Daddy drove Huby down home and got back at noon with oats and binder twine.After dinner Bill went out and raked up what he cut this morning
