Fri Aug 24 Nice only terrible smoky the
sun looks as red as a hyslop crabapple. The boys
hauled second cutting hay all day. They put
up 8 loads. I bunched up seed alfalfa and
mowed seed alfalfa and shocked up the
oats that I mowed yesterday.

Sat Aug 25 Very nice and the
boys finished stacking the second cutting of
alfalfa put 16 loads in the stack five of them
they hauled to day [today] and Murphy has made a pretty
nice shaped stack of it. I worked awhile this
morning piling up what I cut yesterday and then
mowed awhile and played out but I went up
towards night and piled it up.

Sun Aug 26 Pretty to day [today]. We had lots
of company to day [today]. I went over to Lews
and took Aggie over home this morning
then Lews folks came home with me.
Found Charleys folks here and John Camerons
folks and Mr Heaths folks and Reas's
folks came a little before sunset. They
had been up to Franks.

Mon Aug 27 Nice smoky
day. The boys Murphy Bert and Johny hauled
alfalfa seed hay. They got 12 loads and pretty
much cleared the field except the timber claim.
I done sundry odd jobs such as fixing
places for stacking the seed alfalfa and oats
mowing some by the ditch tinkering some
at the sickles and getting some plums and
crabs and taking them over for Charley to show at Cheyenne.
