Thursday November 30th 1911.

from the midrib Dad went back to plow this morning but it was frozen too hard and he had to come back. We cut up the apple branches that were left in the orchard most of the morning.

We put wire up around the top of the chicken run this afternoon to keep them from flying over. Aunty and Enah went down town to Bible Class or something this afternoon. Enah stayed down at her sister's to tea and went to choir practice. Charlie Shand came home with Dick and got him to go over home with him to stay all night.

After tea Dad went down town to choir practice and did not get back till late. I finished notes "Ivanhoe" to-night and went to sleep reading the notes on it. Cold and windy to-day.

December 1st Friday

Dad and I went back and set up the corn shocks that had blown down. Tige and two cats went with us. The black one and Tige caught about all the mice in sight but the grey one didn't catch many but took them away from the black.

Aunty went down to Mr. Bert's funeral this morning and came back about three o'clock. She thought she forgot to take Roy's letter down and came back after it but when she could not find it she came to the conclusion she posted it. Dad fixed the cow stable door this after noon and I watched cookies from burning. Dad and I went over to Vyse's with the wheel-barrow and got a lamb from him of Bob Miller's that Bob told us to keep for awhile.

To-night Frank and I went down to post a letter Aunty wrote to Roy to make sure he would get one. Killed a couple of roosters this morning. Much milder to-day looks like rain.

Saturday NovDecember 2nd

Gus. Stringer and his men came and got two more loads of Titus' old hay. One of them a Scotchman and a expert sheep man had a look at our sheep and told us a lot about them. He also clipped the wool around their eyes as he said it was too long. We had a great time catching them.
