Saturday February 22nd
Dad. and Frank spent the morning remodeling the calf pen. They moved the bars back about six feet so that there will be room in front of them to tie Dad's steers and they intend taking the two heifer calves out from the rest. I intended going out to the Shand's with the bobsleighs after dinner to borrow their scale rack so that we could weigh the steers but by the after dinner the snow had all melted off so that I didn't go as I didn't want to take the waggon. I peeled the bandages of my ribs to-day as they were getting quite irritable. I havent felt any the worse for it. Very soft. Cloudy this after noon.
Sunday February 23rd
Frank went down to Sunday school this morning and I started but was so late I didn't go. We both went to church. I stayed at Aunty's to dinner and tea, went to church with Aunty Alice and spent the after noon and evening at the Monteiths. Rainy.
