Tobe went down home right after breakfast and got Hubert to come over and help us move the stove in out of the woodshed, and we moved the little heater into the hall.

Tuesday Nov 14th It was not quite so cold today. Bill came over while we were milking after breakfast we fixed the shed and got it nearly ready for the chickens and the pen ready for the calves and got the machinery in the barn. I went down about 5 O'Clock and got wire and tar paper Dick went with me. It snowed hard on our way home but it is milder. Bill went down to stay at Huberts to start early for a fox hunt.

Wednesday Nov 15th Pretty cold all day. Toby and I finished up the place for the chickens under the shed and did the usual chores. I went down in the after noon and got {Nese?} and Lila after tea Lila Dick and I carried our 61 chickens and put them in their new quarters.

Thursday Nov 16th Still cold with the ground covered with snow. Bill came back before we were up. We worked in the cold all day, drew up some rails and fenced the barn board. I went to the mill for flour in the evening. Bill cut some wood. {Nese?} and Hattie went down town
