Awoke this morning to find the rain falling and
the wind blowing from the South, a half gale and
the apples tumbling from the trees; soon the ground
is covered with apples. Weather clears at noon, dont
rain but the wind covered with apples. V soon looks up
boxes and V & E & E are soon employed in gathering
apples and filling the boxes. V went to look at his
corn field and found the corn lying flat on the ground.
It can be cut by no combinder now. Niles picked up 5
barrels of apples this pm.
