Thursday November 23rd

Dad went back and ploughed this morning as it was quite mild and thawr=ed during thre night. I did a few chores and then went back with him. He said it was very hot at first as it was frozen hard along the ploughed ground but as he got into the sod it goit wasier. I cleaned the sod sout of the dirtches and thenhad a good lesson. It began to rain a t noon and kept up till night preventing us form doinf anuthing but chores. Carl Coleman came to get Dad to kill their old horse after dinner but Dad had nothing to do it =with told him leave him. I read all the after noon and Dad read James Whitcomb Riley.
