Monday March 7th

Snowed a little during the night but has been very soft all day and there was quite a thunder storm to-night. I did chores this morning and then went up to George Duncan's to see if I could get some setting hens. He said I could but wasn't very sure which ones were the best sitters so told me to come up again in a day or two. I didn't go back to the farm this after noon but went down town & Bill finished fixing my tooth. Marj. went down with me and we stayed at Aunty's for tea and then I went to band practice and Marj. went to the girls meeting. Dad. & Frank cleaned up the cellar & sorted the potatoes. It was pouring rain when we came home to-night.

Tuesday March 8th

This has been the most spring like day we have had but the mud is a fright. Dad. and I went out this morning and cleaned out the big ditch over east of the old garden. The frost was out of it in most places and we think it wont take much now to drain the big pond as soon as the water runs down so that we can see what we are doing. We just did chores this after-noon. Mr. Zealand came up again to-night. I went down to hear a Mr. Stansfield give a talk on his Y.M.C.A. work in India which was very interesting. Old Mrs. Martin had a slight stroke to-day
