Thurs Aug 4 Pretty nice hay day only
it was pretty hot and the wind blew a
time or two pretty hard. The boys hauled
the hay from over on the hill at 4
loads and this afternoon they hauled a
load of alfalfa that was cut around
the dykes and ditches. This forenoon
I finished shocking the natural meadow
and shocked the hay around the
dykes and ditches. This afternoon I
irrigated some of the patches here at
home.

Fri Aug 5 Pretty fair day on an
average had a little shower about
4 O clock and quite a big wind
afterwards. Jake left us to day. We
settled and I paid him $49 50/100 and I
expect he has gone to bolder [Boulder]. Lew and Kib
hauled hay. They hauled and stacked
4 loads of hay from the native. I
finished irrigating the corn between
the house and Barn and the lawns and
the upper orchard and done other chores.
