I hurried through my baking and brought Mother
out to dinner. In the afternoon we went to the
West farm. Ida went to town. I brought her
home from Woolfs. Will made two trips to
the valley for fence parts. Weather cooler.

another warm day. I did the work in the morning and
read and rested in the afternoon. Ida gone all day
It looked like rain but it did not come.

fence built to divide the farm in two fields. Him and I
went down town in the afternoon to get some things
