but Dad. took Queen out and bathed her leg, the last one she hurt it seems to be in rather bad shape and badly swollen. About three o'clock we went out and found the hay was perfectly dry so got in two loads. While we were putting off the first load Enah and the baby who had been down town to dinner came home and Elva with them, soon after them Vernon Jean & Betty came over and the whole four of them came out with us for the last load and seemed to have a dandy time in the hay and riding on the load. They stayed to tea and the Southerners had to leave right after to go to the bridge club but Elva stayed and I drove her down about ten o'clock. It has been hot to-day when it wasn't raining.

We got on fine this morning getting out early and getting four loads before dinner, but this after noon we had miserable luck with one load, the sling rope getting lost once, and an old one with a wire in it coming apart once and then the car sticking in the track like it did last year, we have come to the conclusion that that is caused by the horses going too slow and not givin the lift enough of a jerk into the car. They made two lifts of that from the barn floor and then didn't get it all. We got in three loads though, the last one I pitched to Frank alone as Lloyd Crysler came after Dad. to go and see his cow. We didn't get in with it till after six and didn't put it off. There is just one load left in the corner field. Hot.
