It rained again this morning but then looked as if it had cleared off till noon and Dad. went out to plow he ran out some ditches and Frank threw the sod out of them. I spent the morning pruning the raspberries. It started in to rain about noon and rained most of the after noon Frank went down to the dentists and I just did chores & sat around. I got four eggs to-day. My first pullet began to lay the day before yesterday. Frank went down to the Women's Institute Hallowe'en party in the Town Hall

Saturday November 1st

Dad. has plowed all day and Frank and I trimmed up all the ewes and marked all the long legged & long necked ones to sell if any one wants them. We culled out 13 altogether including one lamb. We valued the lot at about $400.00 but don't suppose we will have a buyer. It has been colder to-day and rather cloudy.

Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school and Dad and Enah went down to church. Aunty came over weith us to dinner and Dad. and Enah went back with her to tea ans went to church to-night to hear Larry Skey, who preached.
