Morning is cool and pleasant for the Combine men to cut Oats. Last day of June which has been cool and about half wet weather (maybe not that much Rain) but enough to ruin Grain and Hay.
Frank is overseeing work and looking after the fence fixing. Mary is getting dinner for 7 men including Dad and Frank. I am helping to fill in places where help is needed. Scripture read Isaiah 11:1-9.
Men come in Relays of 2 at once to eat, prolonging the hours of work in hot kitchen. Mary has now gone to Store to help Dad.
2:15 P.M. Dinner is now over. Supper begins at 6 P.M. Afternoon is very warm. The Combine finished cutting 1 field of Oats. A Sand and Wind Storm come up about 7 P.M. followed by a hard Rain. All the men were caught in it. They had to quit shortly after that. Grace and Mary were on the Highway to Clinton so they were out in the worst of the Rain.
Quotes pasted:
Some people would rather be right than pleasant; happy are they who can be pleasant and right.
You can't always choose your circumstances, but you can always choose the spirit in which you will meet them.
I'm not hoping for better times; I've got my coat off and working for them.
