Sat Aug 11 Quite a nice day to day [today]. The Neighbors
began to roll their hay but it stunk so bad there
was the dickens to pay and we finished stacking
the barley to day [today] and Johny he went to
Spring Canion [Canyon] they say and George went over
to Charleys without much delay.

Sun Aug 12 Nice but hot. George
and Lew and I went up to the Spring Canion [Canyon]
Ranch to see what the big storm done. We
found the troughs all full of sand and gravel.
We cleaned them out and got them into
running order again. We saw the horses
and cattle they looked very well especially the
cattle had a few places of the fence to fix
and then came home. Found Charleys
folks here. Had a visit with them and Nelly
and Alice staid [stayed] to help Grandmother this week.

Mon Aug 13 Fine. We hauled
5 loads of wheat to day [today] and have I think 3
loads to haul tomorrow.

Tues Aug 14 Pretty fine but the wind
blew pretty near a gale all day and it threatened rain
a good deal too in the latter part of the day.
John and I finished stacking the wheat and got the
water started on to the wheat ground and hauled
one load of manure and put in to the deep places
on the 10 acre piece.
