for awhile. Frank helped us do chores and after dinner went down to Alfred's to buy some butter, Alfred had the puzzle done the right way, and after purtting it to-gether to show Frank, sent it home, Frank is working at it now evidently with out mch success. I husked corn this afternoon and Dad sawed wood. Frank went back to the gully for a while to watch the creek or something. To-night Dad & I worked at hmy horn trying to loosen one of the valves with the big monkey wrench. Mild & cloudy this morning. It turned colder with a high north west wind and snow. Quietet and not freezing to-night
