Monday August 6th

We all went out and cocked up this morning and finished the field by about eleven, we then came up and put the car up in the horse stable mow and Frank put a roller out of the old lawn mower on the outside of the barn just below the hole that the big rope goes out to keep it from scrubbing on the ends of the boards. This after noon we hauled in four loads but left the last one standing at the end of the horse stable. To-night Frank and I took Queen around the block past John Wess's. Rained a very small shower last night and looked rainy this morning, but cleared.

Tuesday August 7th

We just got in three loads of hay this morning as the mow is getting full now and it takes time to get up to mow it. This after noon we got a load and a half of good hay and put it in the horse stable but the last load we got composed mostly of couch grass, so we hauled it in to the barn and left it to put in the bottom of the bay and {over?} rails to put the wheat on. We got through early and Dad and I took Queen around the block, we took the {obscured word} with us. It has been cloudy and cool all day and this after noon there was too much wind to load hay
