stopped at home to help sew. Ida went with me.
It is a very warm day. The boys are making hay.
Wednesday July 10th 1901
The weather today was terrible with a hot wind
I could not do much of any thing. The boys
finished haying.
Thursday July 11th 1901
The boys went to the valley for the binder and a
load of hay. I sewed most of the day and nearly
made a wrapper for Ida. Weather still warm.
Friday July 12th 1901
Ida and I went down town this morning to get
some things. I stopped at home a little while
I sewed in the afternoon on a dress shirt for
myself. Will began to cut the oats.
Saturday July 13th 1901
The work kept us both busy till nearly two
oclock I did some extra work in the cellar
I sewed some in the afternoon. Weather very
warm. After supper Ida and I walked down
to Miss Frances for a call.
