Quite a few floating clouds and south wind cool indoors. It was 3 years ago this night at 10 o’clock that I got me bone above ankle cracked lengthwise and rheumatism in knee and stiff ankle, left one, and the hip is out a fraction so I have a time to walk at times. I got meals, for the men finished the hay on Moore Creek and brought hay stacker and one sweep and got in for dinner at 1:30 p.m., so in p.m. LeMoyne and Thomas started to clean manure away from house-banking, then LeMoyne went around cattle late p.m. and Thomas started to chore. Will made a screen-door for the outside hall basement door, then he helped chore for they milked and separated this eve, for the first time in eve this season. I baked bread and a cake for here and picnic to-morrow.
