July 9, 1963
Tuesday, 38 to 60, partly cloudy, chilly and windy. I finished ironing and sewed blue dress. Wayne worked for Carlton.
Comment: 38 degrees in July, very chilly..Wayne still "haying it". Carlton was running a large dairy farm and so had all the latest haying equipment at the time, balers, side delivery rakes, bale loaders, elevators to put the bales into the hay mow. But, it was still a lot of hot, dusty work to "put the hay in" so Wayne was probably earning his money. This picture is representative of how our family did it with the bales being pushed up to the wagon by the baler action, then grabbed by the "loader" to stack neatly on the wagon.
