Had showers, some thunder this morning. Then it came off very cold and windy. I worked at Betty’s all day. Came home, did a dite of cooking. After supper Billie and I went down and did most of the hens. Billie chopped the heads off, Betty and I cleaned them. Bill worked down there all day working on the back wall under the barn. Betty made root beer.

On the hot side. I worked at Betty’s. She cleaned out her hens to get ready for new ones. We got ready and went to Bar Mill’s. They didn’t have any sex link pullets. So he went to Oxford to Cornwall’s. She bought 18 sex link pullets. Billie, Fern, Lloyd and I went over and got them for her after supper. A friend of Walt’s, Mr. Ed Clifford, came there to stay.

A pretty good day, I helped Betty. Then Carmen came up to stay here all night. We went to town to do a few errands.
