Friday July 19th

When the dew went off enough this morning we all went out and shook out the heaviest pacts of what Frank cut yester day. and then went back and got a load from the back field before dinner getting up here with it about one o'clock, but we have gone back to the old time pretty much through haying anyway. ths after noon Dad. culti vated corn and got nearly all of what was untouched since the last rain gone over. Frank raked up the hay he cut and we both cocked up all the after noon but didn't get any more than half of it up. It has been a fine hay day & not too hot.

Saturday July 20th

We all went out and finished cocking up this morning all that was raked and then put off the hay that we hauled yester day before dinner. We got a good early start after dinner and got in three more loads from the back field but there is more back there yet. Frank and I went down town to-night. I got my hair cut and had a swim in the chute under the dam. We got to bed about 2 a.m. Fine day.
