Mon Nov 24 Cloudy but a still nice
day and quite warm in the afternoon. I shucked
corn and irrigated. Johny went to school.

Tues Nov 25 Very fine all day. Mother
and I finished husking the corn and I got along
pretty well irrigating. Johny went to school.

Wed Nov 26 Clear and nice. I finished
irrigating the barley stubble piece and the piece
above the house and have got a good start at the
orchard. Johny went to school a half day and took
a load of barley over to town this after noon [afternoon].

Thurs Nov 27 Thanksgiving day

Marys. Johny and Arthur went with us. Reas and Ett
and the girls were there too and we had a lovely time
and for the inner man Mary had a nice big
Turkey well cooked with lots of other good things.

Fri Nov 28 Clear and nice. We hauled
a couple of good loads of hay this forenoon and put
it into the barn loft for the horses. Then this
afternoon we took a load of grain over to town.
21 sks [sacks] of barley and 9 sks [sacks] of oats. Recd [Received] for the grain
22 dollars and sixty five cents [$22.65].

Sat Nov 29 A rather threatening
day. John went up to the ranch and him
