A very nice sunny day. Not too hot. A nice surprise. Carmen called, had a little visit with her. Picked about half a peck of peas from our garden today. I went down to Fern’s. Bill and I went down and got Thena, we went to Fern’s. Esther was there. They served dessert and tea. A very nice blueberry pie and apple pie. We had a nice afternoon. Came home, got supper. Then another good surprise. Kim came home very briefly. Zak up today. He mowed Ilan’s lawn.

A great day. A nice hay day. Butch mowed rest of McDonald’s, going to begin mowing Walt’s tomorrow. Bill and Zak did the lawns and trimmed. I washed, done up the housework. Put a rinse on my hair. I picked peas and strawberries. Zak helped me. Bill cultivated the garden. Betty done my shopping. She called a few times. Dorothea here just a little while. Billie is beginning to feel better. Susan, Esther and Monica called this evening.
