Wed Nov 8
Delightful day only a little cool this morning but David and Rhoda and Hannah and Lew and Elmer got off in pretty good time for a two or three days outing up in the Stove Prairie country. They wanted to see some rocks and I guess they will. Frank mended shoes awhile and then helped me hoe strawberries. we got them cleaned out good too.

Thurs Nov 9
Just nice and I suppose that the mountaineers are having a good time of it. Frank went to town this foren [forenoon] and this afternoon Annie Dixon came about 2 O clock. She said there was a little water running in the Larimer Co ditch and that they were fixing to run it into the Rocky Ridge lake so we managed to get a little to run into the windy hill lake.

Fri Nov 10
A cold windy day. the mountaineers got home a little before noon safe and sound and report a nice time all around. Staied [Stayed] at John Dragers last night. Frank and I tinkered around and attended to the water this forenoon. This afternoon Frank went to town and brought out the mail.
