"The past week has been dry and moderately hot, but this evening we have had a soaking shower of four hours duration and still raining.
Sold hay to Day Miller, Grover Garver, four loads each and one load to Shefler Miller who paid me. The others haven't come across yet. At a carrier picnic on Jack Herrington's summer cottage grounds. We have picnicked for 30 miles along these wonderful valleys.
Bull nettle or tread lightly is the new plant I have learned this year. The cultivated land is full of them. Stout, low plants with stiff prickles on mid-rib of leaf and on the stem. They play havoc with bare feet.
Corn is hip high.
Ella went to Gene's yesterday noon."
