Tuesday February 4th

I got up about half past seven this morning. We didn;t do asny chores but got started as early as we could which was about ten for the sheep. We drove Joe & Ginger and took our waggin down to Coleman's and left it there then hooked on to theirs, we got up there in about an hour. Dunkin said he thought we were never coming. He had had bad luck with his imported sheep. Owinfg to carelessness in the Quarantine Station two of his sheep died and he can't get a cent for them. They charged hom forty five dollars for their keep donew there for thirty days.

Mine were right though and we got them home safely. He only charged us two dollars for their keep but hasn't had them registered yet. We had to walk the horses nearly all the weay home on account of bumpy roads. When we unloaded the sheep we wemt right into back woth the waghon and got our own, we also went up to Chris. Fairchild's and got the saw blade. Dick took to him this morning & just half past three when we got in the house after the horses in. it was just twelve when we left Dunkins we had a little dinner we went out and did up the chores. The poor horses were prettu=y hung up and thirsty especially Joe & Ginger who were tired also. Dick & Frank wemt down to A.Y.P.D. to-night. It has been cloudy & blustery all day and pretty cold.
