Wednesday November 15th

Dad and I worked all morning putting up the wire around the new chicken pen. We also put up more tar paper in the pen and put boards around itthe top and bottom of the wire. While I was in thebarn this morning I saw the old grey cat that Williams left catch a great big rat and eat it. This afternoon we hung the door to the chicken pen and finsihed it up. About three o'clock Dad hooked up Joe and Ginger and went down to get Aunty and Lila came back with them.. I cleaned ourt the stable while they were gone and then sawed wood. Dad did the chores and I helped milk tonight. Dad, Lila dn Dick are out to catch the chickens and put them in their new pen Lila is holding the light for them and is enjoying herself immensely. Aunty said Bill and Quint started off this morning after the fox. They got as far as Wally's and saw the fox with a cjicken, so Bill went on after him and Quint came home. It snowed a good inch last night and there were bob sleighs out this. orning. The sun was very bright and it thawed a lot all day, but it is colder to-night.
