It is raining this morning. This afternoon Papa went out and started discing again. Clifford Stahlber was here nearly all afternoon playing with the colt. Wilford & Clarence Eichenseer were also here. Papa went over to Ed. Meng’s this evening with the mare, and we had to hold the Blindy & Queeny the colt. We all went out to Henry’s this evening but when we got there they wasn’t home. So Papa took a sample of sweet clover along to see how it was. If it was fit for seed.
