Wednesday November 26th

It looked so rainy this morning that insted of plowing Dad. hauled in the rest of the good corn that was husked. It took us till noon as we had to unload the other load that was on the waggon and Dad. also fixed a couple of old crates. We just left this load on the waggon. Huby didn't come over till noon as he thought it was going to rain I helped him this afternoon but we didn't quite finish as there are four more shocks to husk yet. I was cold and didn't husk fast at all.

Dad. plowed all the afternoon and has now finished all the field but the head lands, he was delayed as he had to chase the cattle out of the field where we burned the grass off. To-night Frank went down to Confirmation class and I spent the evening writing this and sleeping alternately. Very cloudy all day, drizzled a little but nothing to speak of

Huby told us he wouldn't be over till about ten o'clock this morning as he was going to get us a long handled shovel to start ditching with. I cut wood and then went back and turned the cattle out of the alsike stubble, when I got back Huby wasn't here so I went out and got two shocks nearly husked by noon. Huby came over to dinner and he and I finished up the corn soon after dinner, we then took Nig, Bluch, and the shotgun back to the woods, we let Bluch loose back there and he behaved excellently, never going far away from us, Huby shot the gun off once accidentally and once on purpose to see what he would do and he wasn't at all frightened, so Huby says there is no danger of him ever being gun-shy now, we didn't get a shot at any thing and got back about four, we chained Bluch up again when we got home. Dad. finished plowing his field at noon and this afternoon did chores and raked the overhanging parts all off the stack. Dick told us that Jack Philips died last night Amy TUrner was over to-day collecting for the Bible Society. It has been cold and a raw east wind all day.
