Saturday November 24th

It froze very hard last night and has not thawed at all to-day. The wind was from the north all day and it has been cold enough for mid-winter although sunny. I sat around the house most of the day although my knee was very much better. Dad. and Frank spent the day getting wood amd doing chores. Alfred was in this after noon for quite awhile and paid Dad. the balance on the seed wheat. Frank went down town to-night.
