The roads down that way were enough to make a strong man quail so by the time I got back to Chris's it was after noon. Art hadn't brought his eggs in yet so Mrs. Quanbury said they would wait till he came to set them. He is going to take in 15 doz which will make 70 doz all told.

It was about two o'clock by the time I got to the farm and I put Queen in and went in as I was wet cold & hungry. They had had dinner of course but Enah got me some and I stayed there most of the after noon and got warmed up. Ina was here when I got home & she & Marj. have started on the house cleaning, she is going to stay till Saturday night. It cleared up towards evening. Cold. |
