August 2, 1746

1746 August 2 (Saturday).  Bright good Day. The Rye Cutt yesterday to be turn’d and taken up.  Considerable Hay lies in swarth at the Meadow — and what to be reap’d So that I have no little Care upon me to interrupt me though I can do none of the Labour.  Cattle and Hoggs often breaking in. How many Times my Soul is oppress’d in this manner!
