It was raining when we got up this morning and turned to snow later and has been getting colder, windier and rottener all day and has been about the worst day this winter. It feels worse any way after the beautiful weather we have been having. We didn't do any thing but chores to-day, but Frank and I had to get over a couple of jags of hay on the waggon to feed the cows & horses. To-night Marj. Frank and I went down town. Frank & I went to the Vestry meeting but I didn't stay long and went over to band practice. Marj. went to see Miss McQueen, she had intended going to Toronto with her to-morrow to see Clara who is home there for Easter but she got a letter from Mrs. Gorrie to-day <s>saying</s> asking her not to come till next week. It was freezing hard when we came home. Dad's ewe had a pair of lambs to-day one was dead and the other very weak.

Sunday March 27th

Marj. Frank Tid. & I all went down to Sunday school & church and Enah drove Mexico down to church Dad. also went down but stayed down with Aunty Alice & Aunt Ida and didn't go to church. There was quite a big congregation for Easter. It was raining when we got out of cburch so I went up to the Bagley's to get Marj's umbrella which she left up there & Mr. Bagley insisted that I go out and see his library tables which are now finished. I met Marj. & Lila coming to meet me. We went down to Aunty's for dinner. Lila & Quint. were there but Huby, Win & Cecil Yerick went over to Aunt Lucy's. Mr. Jame's came over here to the farm for dinner Marj. & I came back about four o'clock it was raining quite hard then. We met George Zealand on the bridge and he asked me what had been the trouble before we left his father. He said his mother had been pretty worried over it but he knew that his Dad. was pretty hard to get on with and didn't blame us at all. It rained nearly all after noon & evening.
