Hops are not large. The fly-catchers, which abounded in my outlet, seem to have withdrawn themselves. Some grapes begin turn colour. Men bind wheat. Sweet harvest, & hop-picking weather. Hirundines congregate on barns, & trees, & on the tower. The hops are smaller than they were last year. There is fine clover in many fields.
