Wednesday November 24th

Spent most of the day working at the new chicken pen but didn't get a great deal done, owing to interruption such as taking the cream to the corner and going after it and putting the unused siding that was on the veranda and getting spoiled by the kids up in the attic. Soft all day but raw & cloudy. Freezing to-night.

I killed a couple of chickens this morning for to-morrows dinner and then drove over to the farm where I got the team and waggon and got Frank to go with me down town and get some 2 x 4's for the chicken house joists a cider barrel at the canning factory and Marj's congoleum at Sid Butlers and the bed at Frank Taylor's besides some stuff from the stores. It was about one oclock when we got back to the farm and pouring rain. Frank got off there but I came right out here with the stuff, put the team in had my dinner and about four o clock went back with the waggon and brought the buggy home with Queen. It was after dark when I got here and had been pouring rain all after noon. Bob. who went back to the farm yesterday morning came back out here of his own accord this after noon, followed me back to the farm again and then back out here. Ina here all day & staying all night.
