Sat Aug 6 Didnt rain to day nor
did the wind blow much. We hauled
3 loads of good blue stem hay and
one of alfalfa hay that grew on the
east side of the blue stem meadow.
We got a small stream of water and
are trying to irrigate the alfalfa over on
the hill with it.

Sun Aug 7 It thundered around
a good deal to day and rained a little.
We all kept Sunday to suit ourselves
to day and to night. Lew has gone on. Dexter
he says to church and I dont know but
what he has.

Mon Aug 8 Pretty hot
with a little sprinkle once or twice
and wind enough to keep the boys from
unloading their load of hay. Lew mowed
the piece north of the barn then afternoon
him and Kib hauled the gleanings and
rush hay from the bluestem meadow but
couldnt unload it for wind. Then he cut
a little wheat. Kib raked over the meadow
in the forenoon. I hunted and found water and
various other chores.
