Friday February 25th

Frank and I hauled out manure all day and got another strip of the potato ground covered. Dad. went down to Aunty's for dinner and went up and read to Aunty Maude this after noon. Marj. & Enah went over to Mrs. Quanburys where the Guild was meeting. Uncle Ward called up at noon and asked me to bring Mrs. Woodson's key over as some one had broken into the house so I went over and we boarded up the hole in her door where they broke the glass to get in. They had pulled things around pretty well but I don't know that any thing was stolen. Dad. & Tid heard that Miss Newell fell down this after noon and broke her hips and that {Linous?} McPherson died this morning. Colder to-day and blustery.

Saturday February 26th

It has been snowing pretty well all day and quite hard this after noon but it has been quite mild. I just did chores this morning and Dad. & Frank hauled up a couple of loads of wood. This after noon I didn't go back to the farm till about four as Marj. wanted me to wait till she went down town but when she saw how bad the storm was she decided not to go. Mr. Zealand has been wanting to go home all day but Gordon wanted to hunting this after noon with Mann & Nanny so they went to-night on the seven o'clock car. The boys all came over to-night except two and were covered with snow. Windy.

Sunday February 27th

Marj. and I went down to Sunday school and church this morning and Dad. came down and drove us over to the farm for dinner, at least he drove Marj. over but I stopped off here to shovel the snow. This after noon Marj. and I drove out to Frank Lemon's for orchestra practice. We took Frank as far as Bill Donald's and he went in there to see the girls and find out how old Bill was as he fell off the roof of the house last night and lit on his back on the cement step but didn't break any bones. We had quite a practice and didn't get home till nearly six, we have to play at a U.F.O. Concert on Tuesday night. Frank went down to Aunty's for tea with Mark and they went to church, so Dad. had most of the chores to do. Marj. & I spent the evening at the farm where I went to sleep. Very soft, sleighing no good.
