Wednesday October 8th

We separated the ewe lambs from the rams this morning and put them with the old ewes. Midget who has not been well for a day or two died this morning and Frank skinned her. I started to shingle the cj=hicken shed roof this morning and worked at it most of the day but didn't make mych showing as it is a long roof. This was Vernon's birthday and they all came here for dinner. Dad. hooked Joe up rto Mexico's cart and brought Aunt Ida, Vernon and ther two children over and Aunty & Aunty Alice walked. After dinner we went out and picked up hickory nuts for awhile. Frank went to the Simcoe Fair this after noon and got home at six, he said there wasn't much stoclk there. I went down town to-nifght. It froze quite hard last night.Only third white frost we have had.
