Friday October 8th

Dad. & I hauled in manure all day to-day and got out twelve loads we want to get the yard cleaned up as soon as possible so that we can thrash when the machine comes down here again to thrash out Art. Ryersie's. Between loads I got a couple of holes dug to set the posts for a grapevive trellis east of the house but I didn't feel very well after the first load or two so didn't sdo much.
