noon and I piled the two loads that were here along the wend of the old house, besides doing a few chores and watching the colts. dogs. chickens and Frank's pig that they didn't get into ,mischief. It was too muddy to take Osprey out on the road so I lewt him out in the yard andhe and Dave ran around and chased the sheep out of the barn once. I also let this pen of hens out all over the place as I wanted to clean their place out and some out of the other pen got out in the henyard so I couldnt let both pens in there to-gether. Tom Abbot was in here to see dad about a cow of his but Dad. wasn't here he came in again just before dark. He si going to start coming here for cream a week from Monday, if he is alive and well. It has thawed all day in the shade to-day and is very muddy and wet
