Friday March 4th
Frank and I put off the load of hay we put on yesterday. We took it over to the old barn for the cows. Then Dad. & Frank went over to Toms and got a load of straw. I just did chores and came home for dinner before they got back. They got home about one o'clock and we put it off into the horse stable. We didn't do anything else but chores as Dad. wanted to get down early to Pinafore practice. I separated my Plymouth Rock hens from the Wyandottes to-night as I think may be Jack will be wanting eggs soon now so it was after six when I got home. Marj. told me that the band was going up to play at the final hockey match between Dover & the Simcoe baseball team, but they hadn't sent me word. They called up in a few minutes but I said I wouldn't have time to get there. They called up again and said they were short handed so I hurried and dressed ate a bite or two of bread & jam and skiddooed over across the pond to catch the car. The game was pretty one sided as Dover piled up a score of 18-8 but we all had a good time as Dover wins the cup. I came back across the pond and found Dad. & Enah here They had hoped to have a good Pinafore practice but half their crowd was at this match so they were peeved, naturally. Marj. cooked some beefstake before we went to bed. Getting milder.
