Dad. ploughed all day and {Frank?} rolled over. He was up early as the top {illegible phrase} off during the night and he got up before daylight to see if anything was hurt. Luckily nothing was. I spent the whole day doing chores and husking corn. Frank helped me husk corn and I helped him put the cabbages out of the waggon down cellar and we ran the waggon into the orchard. He wants to fill it and get another barrel of cider. Marj. & Enah went to a bridge party at the Harding's this afternoon I painted a lesson to-night.

Sunday December 5th
I got up at 9.30 this morning and went over to the farm before breakfast and then Marj. and I went down to Sunday school and Church. We came back for dinner which we had rather late and then we sat around for about an hour and read some of Wilson MacDonald's poems which I enjoyed very much. I went over to the farm about four to help do chores but as they were not expecting me there was nothing to do so back I came and Marj. and I went down to the Will Wood's for tea and spent the evening. We stopped in at Auntys for a few minutes on our way home. Dull cold, drizzly and windy to-day.
