Clear but cold. Lew went to the ranch to day and fixed things up some up there. He reports the stock doing fairly well yet. David and Rhoda and Hannah and I went up to Charleys and had a nice visit wither [with] them got home in time for the chores and have got them done.

Sun Nov 19
Clear and quite nice and getting quite a bit warmer. I went over to C V Howards and we measured up the hay over there. My share measures 26 tons and 56 feet. Mr Cushing had bought Mr Howards part so I gave him his choice in the ends and he took the north end and so that leaves us the south end. The rest kept Sunday pretty good and some are getting ready for meeting.

Mon Nov 20
Clear and nice and quite a bit warmer. We hauled a load of hay and put it into the pens for the cattle when we get them there and then we run the fence out into the lake quite a bit further and now it is about 2 feet deep where the fence runs this afternoon. Lew cleaned out the rest of the ditch towards the lake and I finished fixing the mangers so that the cows can get at the hay better and uncle Dave helped us.
