Saturday November 11th

Dad hooked the big teams to the lumber wagon and he Dick, Frank and I went down town. We went to Huby's fiorst and got a wagon load of boxes and other tings. Then we went up to Bob Law's to sort out the potatoes. We got four or five bushels out of themn. We got home about noon. We found Edith Law in here with Nippwer who was sick and shut up in the stable so he would not fight Tige. She brought himover for Dad to look at. Dad plowed all the afternoon. I helped Frank make cider most of the afthe after noon we got quite a lot. Ferdie cam eovewr about noon and he and Dick went down town. Dick got home about dark singing the old dcow bell which Aunty had found while cleaning out the store room down home. Dad was afreaid it was lost as we looked for it last spring and could not find it. He felt badlt about it as it has been down home so long, ke knew it as soon as he heard it. Charlie Shand was over today to see Dad about a sick dog too. It has been a beautiful day but there seems to be a wind getting up to-night. There is thinder and ligning aslso to-night which {Margin note} which they say at this season is a token ofmild weather we will see if all's {illegible}.
