Well here it is Fri July 14 and as hot and dry
as ever varied by a little wind to day.
Frank and Mary and the children got here this
forenoon all safe and sound. They had to lay
over a time or two and of course were pretty
tired but I gues [guess] they are pleased to be with
the folks here once more. Lew and Joe hauled
5 loads of hay. Kib raked in the forenoon
and picked cherries in the afternoon.
Frank raked in the afternoon.
I made a rather short day at mowing
on account of irrigating.

Sat July 15 Another day like we have
had since it got warmed up. Frank mowed
in the forenoon and in the afternoon
he went to town to get their trunk and things.
Lew and Joe hauled hay and Kib helped them
in the afternoon or part of it. He raked
in the forenoon. I irrigated all day with
water from the dry creek over on the hill
and with water from the lake on the
wheat and oat stubble and with water from
the Larimer Co ditch on the 10 acre piece
of alfalfa.

Sun July 16 Hot and dry. Lew and
Mary and Franks folks went down to Reas's
and from what they say I think they had
a nice visit. Mother and I staid [stayed] at home
and we had a good visit too. I irrigated
some from the lake on the wheat and oat
stubble ground. The water was shut
off from me this morning so now it
is all going to Long Pond.
