Monday September 6th

It has been a fine day but too wet from yesterday's rain to do any thing with the hay so I spent the day here at home putting the roof on my new chicken pen. I got what little sheeting is necessary for a tin roof on both sides and got the roofing on the north side I didnt make a good job of it getting it started crooked in some way but it will afford some shelter for them. Ina has been here all day helping Marj. get ready. I picked a couple of bushels of early apples in the young orchard this after noon to send to Dorrie & Phyl. I forgot, but it it did rain one very heavy shower early in the forenoon
