frozen stiff but it is beautiful again today so will be all right I think. We got in one load of corn stalks on Saturday and they are in good shape and there is some fine corn in them. I went up to a meeting of mentors which Manning called in Simcoe to-night and left Marj. here alone to go to bed early as she has a bad cold.

Tuesday November 16th

Just a month ago to-day that we were married and I am just beginning to get squared away to regular habits but we have had a good time. Marj's cold is very bad to-night, she feels quite sick I think. She got up early and has worked hard all day as she expected a joint attack from the school teacher's but Miss McQueen telephoned at the last minute that they couldn't come. Frank and I put off the load of corn stalks that we hauled in yesterday and then went down after a load of freight which just came in for Marj. It was all her things from home which her Dad. had packed and shipped to her. It made about a waggon load. I opened them for her at noon and she unpacked them and it was a very tiresome job but she was glad to get a lot of the things. This after noon Frank and I took some oats to the mill to be rolled. Dad. ploughed all day. Frank went down to stay at Aunty's to-night and is going with Neff on a judging trip to-morrow D.O. Still cold and east snow storm to-night.

Wednesday November 17th

I was up at 6.30 this morning and found a fierce east wind and snow storm raging but not very cold. We expected Frank who stayed at Aunty's all night back but he didn't come so we suppose he must have gone with Neff although we didn't think they could get through on account of the snow. I drove Tid. down to school and went on down town and got some meat and bread for Marj. Dad. and I threw the hay that was on the floor of the big barn up in the mow and let the calves in there for shelter. I didn't go over to the farm very early after dinner as I shovelled all the snow as Marj. was "receiving" Aunty Alice came over early and Enah was here. I husked some corn this after noon. Mark. came over for awhile and Dad. drove him down town with Queen and then he came back and stayed at his farm for tea. Aunty Alice had tea at our place, she being the first one to break bread with us in our own home. Much milder to-night.

Thursday November 18th

Frank didn't turn up all day but came home to-night and said they did go to London in Neff's car and saw the stock at Wildwood and Col. McEwen's. Dad. and I have just done chores all day. The snow and the frost make it impossible so far to do any thing with the turnips although it has thawed a great deal to-day and is not freezing as hard to-night. Enah had a tea party for Marj this afternoon
