till noon. This after noon I drove Enah down town and I got some coal oil and my hair cut. Enah stayed down to tea as Aunty Alice had a carpet rag bee this after noon Frank went to Billy Dixon's sale and bought a {bay?} truck and a potato digger. Dad. had a busy after noon looking after Tid and a new heifer calf that came after dinner belonging to Young Bobbie. To-night Frank and I went down to church, and after church I went down to a party at Patterson's. There was a big crowd there about forty and they played Five Hundred. I was fortunate enough to get the booby prize. It has been a beautiful spring day but muddy.

Thursday March 20th

Dad. went down to Aunty's this morning and has been down all day tearing down the fence between Aunty's and Charlie Warren's. He got it all down and the boards piled up. I took six chickens out of the incubator this morning all that are going to hatch and put them under the hen I got from Tupper. I thought she was going to mother them well but before noon she killed four. The first two I found I thought she had stepped on unintentionally but the second two were picked in the head.
