Nice and warm all day. Sat down in the orchard and patched Ora's jacket, while watching for the hawk. Ora watched and shot at him, set some traps. Moved my three coops of chicks, up into the back yard. Willard Sheedy came here today for keys to their house. The folks were past tonight. A woman from Ohio was asking and looking for a flour sifter which sifted flour eight times at once. I gave her mine (which she had given to me) to sell to her.

Warm and nice sunshine. Did the washing by my self as dad was sick. Rained a little just after dinner. Clothes just right to iron, so I did all the ironing. Hawks carried of two of my chicks today. Mabel, Shelby, Violet, Bill , Howard, Robert and Flossie came to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought pop-corn balls and muffins. Gave me goods for an apron and a china butter plate. Had a fine time.
