Tuesday November 23rd

It has been a very dull damp dismal day sputting rain quite a lot, but we went out and pulled the rest of the turnips this forenoon and this after noon put them all in the pit and Dad. covered it, they appear to be all right in spite of their freezing but we don't know how they will keep. Oliver Mann came over to-night and I charted him. He charted up very well.

Wednesday November 24th

We put in the whole fore-noon just doing chores and puttering around. It was a very wet gloomy day. This after noon I stayed home and put on all the storm windows and it was quite a job to make them all fit. Marj. had a worse job as she was bound to wash them all thoroughly before I put them on, so was tired out to-night.

Thursday November 25th

Dad. ploughed all morning and got about half drowned wading through the mud-holes so this after noon Frank went out. This morning Frank went down to the mill to get the barley chop we took down on Friday but it wasn't done they not having got their chopper working right yet. He and I then went over to Jack Martin's and got his corn stalk chopping box and brought it over to chop stalks for the bulls as they don't eat them very well the other way. I spent the rest of the day doing chores and husking a little corn Winnie came over and spent the after noon sewing wth Marj. and stayed to tea. Still cloudy but not cold.

Friday November 26th

Marj. went over to the farm with me this morning & Dad. drove her down with Tid. to school and she invited Miss McQueen over here to tea. Old Gladys was on one of her periodical rampages and followed the buggy all the way to the corner and I suppose would have gone all the way to school with them if I had not cut across Ivey's and headed her off. She went down to Quanbury's and then home. I did chores all day & Frank ploughed. After dinner Marj. and I gathered up some russets and made a gallon or so of cider. Miss McQueen came over for tea and Dad. Enah and Tid came over and spent the evening. Frank had to go out to the school house.

Saturday November 27th

I just did chores to-day and Frank ploughed and Dad. cleaned some ditches. Lila was over here all the afternoon and to tea. The Tuxis boys were over to-night, after they left I rowed Lila across the pond, it was a lovely night. We haven't seen the sun all this week.
