Tues July 5th Nice day but pretty
warm. Lew and Jake finished the piece
over on the hill with one load
and the piece north of the barn with
two loads and hauled 4 loads
from the piece north of the house.
Kib raked the south end of the
ten acre piece into winrows [windrows].
I mowed all day on the north
end of the 10 acre piece and
there is more than an acre to
cut yet. It is awful heavy.

Wed July 6 Pretty warm
and getting pretty dry. Lew and Jake
hauled 6 loads finished the stack
and put some in the loft. They
finished the piece north of the house
and got the hay from the orchard and lawn.
Kib bunched up the south end of 10
acre piece and helped the boys this afternoon.
I finished the 10 acre piece and cut
the piece this side of the house
and begun the one north of the house.
