I cleared the mow out over the horse stable and Bill patched one side of roof. Toby hoed mangles. Vyse came back with the Mower about 3 O'Clock and Bill went on cutting. Bill Donald came over and sowed the buck wheat.
Thursday 29th I forgot to say that Hattie and I drove down town yesterday after noon to see if the rake seat had come. I saw Sam Robinson and ordered the unloading riggery Bill and Hattie went down town right after breakfast Bill to help Hubert and Hattie to pack up more stuff. Bill got home about 5 O'Clock with the hay rack, rake seat, grind stone and hay forks. I hoed in the morning and raked hay with Joe & Ginger in the after noon. Bill began cutting as soon as he came home and finished the fields.
Friday 30th We all worked in the hay all day. Lovely day
Saturday July 1st. Another splendid hay day. We finished {caeking?} the corner field and hauled one load out of the plum orchard. Bill went to the celebration in the afternoon and as I was alone I cut thistles. Roy came up last night.
