Tuesday April 8th
Dad finished building his bull stall to-day. I didn't do much in the morning but this afternoon I prunedanother apple tree. We got up about half past five this monring and started to the gully armed with a rifle and two pitch forks. We went down to the culvert and walked up but didn't see a sign of aquatic life except a mud turtle who was too cold to resist my pickinh him out of the water on my fork and some sort of a fish about a foot long which I speared at but missed. I also saw two minnows.
Aunty wqent down town to the dentists this morning and was successful in finding the door unlocked and Bill in working order. Dick had to work to-night and said when hhe got home that got nearly through he only made a mistake of $1800.00. Froze hard last night, sunny & breeze to-day.
