Monday November 16th 1925. I got up at five This morning and walked{illegible} day lighter as to get a good start. I had to get some wood for Mary. Before leaving as swept up a couple of {illegible} from the wood fence and also the old apple tree that they cut down in front of the school house and which I chopped over here yesterday. {illigble}. if she ran out of wood & put coal on which she did before running short of wood and which was a good Thing as the wind is cold tonight. I got her home in fairly good time and Dad told me {Thief?} had been in and offered him his price for Elgithn 65. saying {illegible}that he wouldn't make a lead on her that they had room for her in the car so wanted her. I went back to the gully and drove her up to the barn and then Dad and I led her down to the car. She didn't have any trouble with her. poor old girl, it wasn't like the last time we led her home from the same place. We weighed her and she surprised us by only weighing 1440 as we thought she would weigh more but she is old and not fat for her. I had to go up town to get some stuff and Dad went to {illegible} to wait for me. I asked him what he wanted of Elgithens price for boarding her and he said if I would get him a plug of Old Virginia https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c053bb42abc828f0329de9b58c4ed326.pdf 8c5b68267917efd5def477f70839e16e PDF Text Text � https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e5a7d5bcc5064206de15126e0bee68f4.pdf 256d9951066ceeafe737129d0dd1d62d PDF Text Text � https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/01e96265b17088dea43626fe24da33bf.pdf 85d47d1d652832c9aff3cfb59e8b9b9f PDF Text Text � Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Saturday November 21st I spent a good part of the morning doing chores and went out to throw some more furrows out of the ditches in the corn stubble but saw {across?} Art Gandy who was cleaning out a ditch on the road and he talked so long that I didn't get much done before dinner. After dinner I {rocked?} the Willets for an hour in a vain effort to put him to sleep and then went out and made some strike outs in the corn stubble. It was a most discouraging job as the ground was so soft that it offered no resistance and I had to stop every few feet to take grass out of the coulter's share. In the wettest places, the horses had to just flounder through and with Queen on quick & Bess on slow and lame it was an impossibility for me to set up pretty crowns even if I were able to do it under favourable conditions, however I got nearly halfway across the feild and I am hoping the {illegible} some of the surplus water get away. Beautiful day clouds mild, strong wind. Sunday November 22nd We were late getting around this morning and didn't do much but {illiable} & chores. I lay around and waited for a awhile and went over and opened up the school house. It was a very gloomy sort of day with a cold https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9bcf59e0859ff09de4dfe609a84dea2a.pdf 2a91ba0f1389f9d27a7af026604f82c6 PDF Text Text � Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. wind and occasional snow flurries, but about three o'clock it seemed to clear up a little, and so I walked to go over there & get a bag of oats. Mary handled the {slide?} up and we all drove over. We were there for about an hour, {Ernie?} was giving Mary some old clothes that she thought might be useful and some stuff that Miss Newell gave her to give Mary. It was beautiful new goods to make a dressing gown. It was nearly dark when we started for home and was beginning to snow. When we turned north, it was snowing hard and was striking us with very uncomfortable force almost full in the face. Harry B who was sitting down in the front couldn't or wouldn't put his head down to escape itbut held it up and wailed dismissively all the way home. Mary on my lap had her face turned away from the storm but she looked too in sympathy with Harry B, so we made a merry party. The baby was well covered up in Mary's arms so went to sleep. Mary told Harry B made up stories about himself and the rabbits at the top of her voice to pacify him but with indifferent success, however we were none the worse Monday November 23rd Every thing was frozen tight this morning with the ground covered with snow as I didn't try to https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8e40ce1db2c5c1beec76cf12031fe600.pdf cadb31040ab7f2efe843d7cd7f7dba79 PDF Text Text � Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Tuesday November 24th I spent the day feathering around doing chores, fooling around with the chickens, and picking up cider apples. I had to make a couple of changes for the chickens. I was surprised to find that there were still thirteen brown leghorns not laying as I have twenty five shut up and I never could count more than thirty, that brings the total up to thirty eight and so I only had about forty three grow big enough to feather out well. I haven't lost since as I {feared?}. The next problem is to catch them as I can't locate their roosting place. {illegible} was here working all day and I drove her home tonight. Mr. Allen Lampher came over this evening. Still frozen up. Cold north west wind Wednesday November 25th I did up the chores this morningand then felt so tough that I came in and lay down. Harry B. told me a story that he made up and I went to sleep and stayed there until noon. I then got up had some dinner and felt better. It was cloudy and snowing this morning when I lay down but at noon the sun was shining and it was much milder. I wanted to go down and get some grit and feed for the chickens so Mary said as it was a such a lovely day she would like to go down to the Bagleys. We got away some after two hours and left them all at the Bagleys' and then went down to Billy Lang's but his place was locked, so I went on over home to get some wheat and there was no one around the house there, so I went to the field back of the {orchid?} where {illiagble} was cleaning out ditches and he said Dad & {Enoch?} were both downtwon. I got my wheat and got home at noon. Mary & Nellie were out next by Willie Shaundis's fence so I had to put them in and as Mary ran up towards the house and then she & Nellie both ran down into the gully I had a lively time pursuing the, I finally got them all safely into the stable & also fed the chickens and put some more corn in the {illigable} so I was here for half and hour before I started back to twon for the family. I stopped in at the farm on my way in and Dad gave me forty five dollars of the money he got from land for the {illegible}. I didn't know she had gone yet. He gave me some of the letters of Mrs. Phelps to send and said he got a card today saying everything was satisfactory and he hoped to get before the judge in about a fortnight. Ms. Dakkon has been saying all day that he hoped to wind it up the first of December but like the {breeze?} that anchors the rainbow, it seems to be able to keep just beyond our grasp, but I suppose that meerly adds to the interest and enhances the dime-novel effect https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e6b72c7000822cea0e3575086e911a16.pdf c003a87da0b4b1d401739df85e6a2f33

I got up at five This morning and walked{illegible} day lighter as to get a good start. I had to get some wood for Mary. Before leaving as swept up a couple of {illegible} from the wood fence and also the old apple tree that they cut down in front of the school house and which I chopped over here yesterday. {illigble}. if she ran out of wood & put coal on which she did before running short of wood and which was a good Thing as the wind is cold tonight. I got her home in fairly good time and Dad told me {Thief?} had been in and offered him his price for Elgithn 65. saying {illegible}that he wouldn't make a lead on her that they had room for her in the car so wanted her. I went back to the gully and drove her up to the barn and then Dad and I led her down to the car. She didn't have any trouble with her. poor old girl, it wasn't like the last time we led her home from the same place. We weighed her and she surprised us by only weighing 1440 as we thought she would weigh more but she is old and not fat for her. I had to go up town to get some stuff and Dad went to {illegible} to wait for me. I asked him what he wanted of Elgithens price for boarding her and he said if I would get him a plug of Old Virginia </div> <div class="mw-parser-output">Saturday November 21st I spent a good part of the morning doing chores and went out to throw some more furrows out of the ditches in the corn stubble but saw {across?} Art Gandy who was cleaning out a ditch on the road and he talked so long that I didn't get much done before dinner. After dinner I {rocked?} the Willets for an hour in a vain effort to put him to sleep and then went out and made some strike outs in the corn stubble. It was a most discouraging job as the ground was so soft that it offered no resistance and I had to stop every few feet to take grass out of the coulter's share. In the wettest places, the horses had to just flounder through and with Queen on quick & Bess on slow and lame it was an impossibility for me to set up pretty crowns even if I were able to do it under favourable conditions, however I got nearly halfway across the feild and I am hoping the {illegible} some of the surplus water get away. Beautiful day clouds mild, strong wind. Sunday November 22nd We were late getting around this morning and didn't do much but {illiable} & chores. I lay around and waited for a awhile and went over and opened up the school house. It was a very gloomy sort of day with a cold </div> <div class="mw-parser-output">wind and occasional snow flurries, but about three o'clock it seemed to clear up a little, and so I walked to go over there & get a bag of oats. Mary handled the {slide?} up and we all drove over. We were there for about an hour, {Ernie?} was giving Mary some old clothes that she thought might be useful and some stuff that Miss Newell gave her to give Mary. It was beautiful new goods to make a dressing gown. It was nearly dark when we started for home and was beginning to snow. When we turned north, it was snowing hard and was striking us with very uncomfortable force almost full in the face. Harry B who was sitting down in the front couldn't or wouldn't put his head down to escape itbut held it up and wailed dismissively all the way home. Mary on my lap had her face turned away from the storm but she looked too in sympathy with Harry B, so we made a merry party. The baby was well covered up in Mary's arms so went to sleep. Mary told Harry B made up stories about himself and the rabbits at the top of her voice to pacify him but with indifferent success, however we were none the worse Monday November 23rd Every thing was frozen tight this morning with the ground covered with snow as I didn't try to </div> <div class="mw-parser-output">Tuesday November 24th I spent the day feathering around doing chores, fooling around with the chickens, and picking up cider apples. I had to make a couple of changes for the chickens. I was surprised to find that there were still thirteen brown leghorns not laying as I have twenty five shut up and I never could count more than thirty, that brings the total up to thirty eight and so I only had about forty three grow big enough to feather out well. I haven't lost since as I {feared?}. The next problem is to catch them as I can't locate their roosting place. {illegible} was here working all day and I drove her home tonight. Mr. Allen Lampher came over this evening. Still frozen up. Cold north west wind Wednesday November 25th I did up the chores this morningand then felt so tough that I came in and lay down. Harry B. told me a story that he made up and I went to sleep and stayed there until noon. I then got up had some dinner and felt better. It was cloudy and snowing this morning when I lay down but at noon the sun was shining and it was much milder. I wanted to go down and get some grit and feed for the chickens so Mary said as it was a such a lovely day she would like to go down to the Bagleys. We got away some after two hours and left them all at the Bagleys' and then went down to Billy Lang's but his place was locked, so I went on over home to get some wheat and there was no one around the house there, so I went to the field back of the {orchid?} where {illiagble} was cleaning out ditches and he said Dad & {Enoch?} were both downtwon. I got my wheat and got home at noon. Mary & Nellie were out next by Willie Shaundis's fence so I had to put them in and as Mary ran up towards the house and then she & Nellie both ran down into the gully I had a lively time pursuing the, I finally got them all safely into the stable & also fed the chickens and put some more corn in the {illigable} so I was here for half and hour before I started back to twon for the family. I stopped in at the farm on my way in and Dad gave me forty five dollars of the money he got from land for the {illegible}. I didn't know she had gone yet. He gave me some of the letters of Mrs. Phelps to send and said he got a card today saying everything was satisfactory and he hoped to get before the judge in about a fortnight. Ms. Dakkon has been saying all day that he hoped to wind it up the first of December but like the {breeze?} that anchors the rainbow, it seems to be able to keep just beyond our grasp, but I suppose that meerly adds to the interest and enhances the dime-novel effect </div> untranscribed https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e88a85d0bc13f53b07be4a3985d1c7b0.pdf bd3287fbc6d5e65a78958c252c5ffefa PDF Text Text � Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

The entries are not repeats of his previous diary dated Dec 23 1911-Sept 2,1912, and there is a gap in the series: 1913 is missing. The next diary begins May 15 1914. Regardless, please transcribe the dates as Dillon has written them in the pdfs that follow.
