It froze too hard for Dad to plow this day so we did not do any thing much. Louise came along this morning about half past ten Mr. Bawlby had to come down to a council meeting and he brought her down and said he would call for her to night. About eleven o'clock we three boys went back to the gully to have some fun. We slid on all the ice we could find that would hold us at all and tried to on a lot that would not hold us and consequently got our feet good and wet. Dad had to go over to Vyse's to see a sick horse or rather a horse that got its foot hurt. This afternoon Frank and Dick went down town this afternoon and got the boxing gloves Enah and Louise also went down. Aunty was over for a few minutes this after noon Dad and I sawed wood most of the after noon. We waited up till all hours to-night as Louise expected Mr. Bawlby. We boys went to bed about ten o'clock. He came about midnight and just as Louise got to bed but she did not go with him.
