Papa got some whey this morning. We didn’t wash it looked to much like rain, cloudy. We cooked catsup & caned [sic – canned] pickles, we got 8½ qts. pickles so far, but the vines are right nice. We dugout 6 rows straw potatoes this afternoon. It rained this morn, so this afternoon it went nice digging. Henry was here & Hy. Armstutz, Jatho, Vic Eichenseer, but we where in the potato patch. Eggs are 11¢ today. Papa took them off 24 doz.
