Thursday February 20th

Dad and Frank hauled over another load of straw to the horse stable this morning and I helped them mow it away. I didn't do much though as the adhesive tape on by back and ribs makes the skin irritable and rather sore when I work. Aunty Alice came over for a little while after dinner but didn't stay long. Enah & Tid drove down town as Enah had to go to the dentist and Dad. and Frank went back and cut a little basswood along John Wess's line. I read all the after noon. The two books which should have come before with the ones we ordered for the J.F.I.A. came to-day, "Feeds & Feeding" and "The Road to Dumbiedykes". To-night Dad.& Enah after leaving Tid in care of the Sandman went down to call on the Pickford's and didn't get home till about midnight. Frank and I read till we got sleepy and then went to bed. Nice day.
