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.
