Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, 1868

Saturday, September 5, 1868
Another pleasant day, as well as busy. We had 16 pickers again to day.
Melia is quite smart, but Maria is not well at all, but she will keep around.
They picked 191 bushels to day.
Mr. and Mrs. Riley was up this afternoon and staid till after tea.
We have had plenty of wash to do to day. We moped and baked bread and cookies and pies and cream cake.

Sunday, September 6, 1868
This has been a wet, disagreeable day! It has rained all the day long. We did not go anywhere, for we were all tierd and glad to rest.
We had a good ring this afternoon. David was here a little while this afternoon. I like his appearance very much.
We are going to get one hop picker to night.
