disking it harrowed it and rolled it. I was very disappointed in its appearance to-night as the disks pulled a lot of sods out along the finishes and the harrows raked a lot more out all over the field and it looks very fuzzy. The wind has been in the north and getting colder all day. I nearly perished on the roller late this after noon although I had my overcoat & mitts on. It has been thundering and threatening rain off and on all day. It did rain a little before dinner and I put the team in and made a couple of frames to tack screen on for the porch. I intended going to town to-night with eggs but the fireside was too cheerful to leave.
