Tues Aug 2 Pretty nice day only awful hot. Jake went to town with Mandy and the cart and has just got home. Kib raked up the hay over on the hill and Lew has been shocking it after he got the ditch fixed and the churning done. I mowed all day on the natural meadow and have got it a little over half done. The crop there is the best that it has been ever I guess.

Wed Aug 3 A good deal like yesterday only the wind gave us several pretty hard gusts and scattered the shocks and bunches badly. Lew finished shocking over on the hill and shocked the rest of the day up on the natural meadow and has now gone to town. Kib raked steady all day and got the natural meadow all done just about common quitting time. I finished cutting the natural meadow just before noon. This afternoon I shocked a good lot.
