Monday November 13th

When the house was aroused this morning all were surprised to find any water left in the kitchen was frozen. The water in the bird cage was frozen, and the lillie in the hall was toughed. Although this was the state of things in the house, the water in the horse stable was not frozen. It was very cold outside and was made more intense by as strong wind. I started to saw wood and Daddy and Enah began to get the stoves ready to move. I broke the frame of my saw which was not much account anyway, so I went down to Huby's to get his saw and also to get him to come and help us move the stove. We spent the rest of the morning getting the stove up. We moved the big stove into the inside kitchen and the little stove in the hall. We did not do any thing much but chores and I cut wood. It has been exceedingly cold all day. And it hopes feels as if it would be a cold night.
