The new lawnmower came tonight. They all like it very much. It does such good work. Betty, Walt and kids came up to see it. Betty and I sat her flowers out today. I cleaned the breezeway. It cleared off and was so hot.

A beautiful day. We picked greens at Betty’s. She mowed all her lawns with the new mower. We each froze greens. Went to Norway in p.m. Had car trouble. She had to go to Ripley Fletcher. We came back as soon as they got the car fixed. Bill and Billie finished mowing the lawns. We liked the new mower.
