Tuesday February 25th Dad. and Frank went back to the bush this morning and cut basswood till noon. They didn't return after dinner on account of it looking so rainy. Dad. fixed up some cross partitions over in the barn to make boxstalls and Frank tried to get his forge going. I spent the day doing chores and cleaning out the chickens sheds and putting fresh straw in. To-night Frank and I went down to J.F.I.A. social evening. We had a good turn out of girls and the usual crowd of boys. Got home about two o'clock. Mild and rainy all day, snow & colder to-night. Wednesday February 26th
