Sunday November 19th

Snowed first thing this morning till the ground was covered and then stopped and remained cold for the rest of the day. Aunty and we three boys went down to Sunday school and Dad and Enah came down to church. It was hot enough in church to cook eggs and the smell of paint is still strong. Mr. Johnson preached an awfully long sermon. All stayed to Huby's for dinner except Dad, who went home to do chores. I stayed with Frank there most of the afternoon fooling around with Quint. We came home about half past four and went down to Sam Law's to look for a little hickory nut tree. Dick went off right after dinner with Ferdie but just got home after tea. I read a little out of "The O' Ruddy" and then Enah read the rest of the evening a continued story of the Sunday School magazine which was very interesting but annoying because it came to a stop in an exciting place.

Monday November 20th

Dad went over to Mr. Vyse's this morning to see if he had the saw sharpened but found he had gone down to see Mickey Law as they had sent for him for because they did not expect Mickey to live. I piled a lot of rails in the wood shed while he was gone. {En.?} Lambert came after him and I told him he was at Vyses, but he missed him. Dad said he didn't care unless the fellow wanted to pay his bill which was unlikely as he had owed it for three or four years. I went over to Vyse's after dinner but he could not sharpen the saw for a day or so so left me his saw. It was good and sharp so I used it for quite a while after I got back. Dad worked out at the old chicken house. I got the job later in the daywatching cookies from burning which I did but stuffed myself so chock full of them I thought I'd burst. I read "The O' Ruddy" all evening and found it was getting better. It has snowed all day to day but is uite mild. Poor old Tige has sneaked oin the last two nights behond the kitchen stove and stayed there till Dad takes her out to the stable when he goes.
