Friday March 21st
I spent the morning doing chores and trying to make my two young chickens comfortable. I put them in Dad's birdcage and hung it over the stove. I made a "hen" out of a strawberry basket lined with cloth. They seem comfortable while they are under it but don't know enough to go under of their own accord. Frank finished cleaning out the shop and started to make a whipple-tree for the disks. Dad. cut wood, the small pieces which he can chop with the axe. Frank went down to a party at Frances Slocomb's to-night. I went down town and called for Aunty Alice and Cousin Loll at Col. Smith's on my way home. Mild but a little colder wind than yesterday. Frogs singing to-night & last night.
Saturday March 22nd
Frank and I had to take Knockfierna up to Ham's this morning again. When we got home George Eagles was here to get Dad. to go up and lance the jaw of Miss McCoy's steer, so he went before dinner. This after noon Frank & Tid went back to the gully to spear pike as they are up in the creeks now. Frank said he saw five and speared one but the spear wouldn't hold them. It is an old four tined spear which the baby has been sharpening up for the last week or two and I guess has it so sharp it cuts right through them. Dad. sawed wood and I split it this after noon. I had a letter from the "Farmer's Advocate" saying my letter was satisfactory and that they would pay me the end of the month in which it was written published. Quite a cold wind to-day.
