We picked beans for the first time this year, for dinner. Henry & family for here for dinner & lunch, he cut wheat till about 3:30 & started to get black & real windy, it looked awful, had a little rain. Bert Thompson gave us an invitation for a birthday dance in Weber’s barn, it is Mr. Weber’s birthday, but it turned out to be a bad night, rain; so we didn’t go. George Wagner came over here a little while this evening.
