extra good luck. We got home about midnight it was moonlight but very chilly. It hasn't been at all hot all day and this afternoon it rained a shower but there wasn't enough to do any harm or good.

Monday August 3rd

We hauled in all the rest of the hay off that field to-day. It took us all day and there were just five loads. We put four of them in the horse stable loft and left one on the old barn floor fr the bull. Huby and Dad pitched one, I loaded and Hyby and Frank mowed away. Frank spent most of the time between loads fixing the boiler pipe which Rus Lampkins brought down for the sink from the pump to the orchard. Dad is not at all infavor of the scheme as he says Frank can't make it work and it blocks his bath to the pig pen, but Frank is undaunted and has it nearly carrying water. Prertty hot to-day.

Thuesday August 4th

Huby didn't come over at all to-day
