Saturday November 24th

It froze very hard last night and has not thawed at all to-day. The wind was from the north all day and it has been cold enough for mid-winter although sunny. I sat around the house most of the day although my knee was very much better. Dad. and Frank spent the day getting wood amd doing chores. Alfred was in this after noon for quite awhile and paid Dad. the balance on the seed wheat. Frank went down town to-night.

Sunday November 25th

Enah, Dad, Tid. and I walked to church this morning but found a notice on the door saying there would be no service owing to the lack of gas, so I went to the Catholick church and the others went to the Presbyterian. I came home to dinner and Frank and I had it alone as the rest stayed down at Aunty's. I went back down town right after dinner and spent the after noon with Marj. had tea at Aunty's and went up to Miss Martin's with Marj. after tea but found she had gone to a service they held in the Sunday school with Cousin Willie presiding as Mr. Johnson is in Stratford. Aunty & Aunt Ida went to service to-night and said cousin Willie gave a very nice address. I went down there early and stayed all night. Froze hard again last night.

Monday November 26th

I spent most of the day killing and fixing up my 12 crate fattened cockrels. I am afraid they will niot bring as much as I have had very little milk for them and have not looked after them as I should have. It is still frozen up tight so FDad and Frank have been doing chores all day and this after noon they put the mangels down the cellar. They have been in the drive house but were not frozen. Enah was over at the Quanbury's this after noon and said there was quite a crowd skating on the pond. Tom. was in this morning and said John Watt's little shack burned down last night and people were lblaming him for it as old Jim McQueen was going to move into it to-day. It has been sunny but frosty to-day.

Tuesday November 27th

Frank and I went down with my chickens this morning which I shopped to Waller's and got the cellar window which has been at Mr. Jame's all fall owing to our forgetfulness. When we got home we went over to Tuppert's and got our heiugfer getting back about noon. I had a bad cold anyway and the morning's operations knocked me out. I uddled ove rthe stsove all after noon, didn't want any tea and went to bed about seven o'clock. dad. went down to-night and got leave from Clayton Ansley to do as he liked with old Nellie & the heifer.
