Wednesday November 1st

It was very cold this morning and pretty chilly all day. We didn't do much this morning. About eleven o'clock we hooked up Joe and Ginger & went down town after a few household requisites. We were going to bring Aunty over with us to stay but she was looking after the place for Aunty Maude who had to be up at the store. Frank & Dick could not ride to-day so had their dinner at Huby's. After dinner Dad & I went over to Cruise's sale and hung around till after four o'clock, without bidding on anything. They were only about half through when we left, selling the house stuff. When we came home Dad hooked up the team again and went down and got Aunty. I went to water old Harry and the big fool jumped away and kicked and ran out back of the barn where he got his chain twisted around his leg. I tried to get him but could not so left him there. Dick Quint & {Margin note} Frank came over and Dick got him. Quint stayed to tea but as it was raining or snowing or something he went home right after supper.
