Monday November 27th

I went down with the boys this morning and went with Bob. Miller up to Carpenters to get my lambs. We did not get back till about half past ten and as the old horse went so slow. I got four very nice looking Shropshire lambs and Bob charged me {$6?} a piece. I went around the orchard fence as we put them in the orchard and fixed a little around it to keep them in. Gus. Stringer was here when we got back with a couple of teams getting what hay that was any good at all and he seemed to be having his hands full sorting it. I did the some of the chores up before noon. This after noon I went back with Dad for a little while to throw sods out of the ditches he threw out this morning. He got quite a lot done. Every body was plowing to day it seemed Robert John Watson was yelling at a great rate just the other side of the woods. I went over to see what he was doing. He asked me if I was lost and I told him I was just looking for rabbit holes and then I had quite a talk with him. He was plowing with a gang plow and did not seem to be holding it at all. I came up early to do chores. Aunty came {Margin note} over with the boys from school. It has been a beautiful mild day. It seems to be the general opinion that we are going to have Indian Summer now. The sap is running to-day.

We got up before day light this morning so Dad could get a good start at plowing but it got began to rain early and kept up all day so we could do nothing but run around in the mud or stay inside. Dad hooked up Joe and Ginger and drove the. oys down to sv=chool and then went around to inqi=uire after Miss McPherson ans found she was a littlel better. I clean ed out the stabkes and cut wood while he wasa gone. I read Ivanhoe most of the aternoon. Bill Donald came after dad to go see his grey mare which was broken out in several places. He had been reading up doctor books andwas afraid it was sme awfil disease. I foget the name of it.
