He wanted the waggon to go down and get some fertilizer that he had ordered some time ago and that was down in the car, so we hooked up the team and took the parsnips in the waggon. We got the fertilizer without any trouble it was in a car out along the dock and I left the parsnips in at Sam's, he didn't know how much they would be worth. I stopped in on the way home to see Marj. and took her some shamrock that Frank brought over for her for St. Patrick's day. Aunty was sitting with her to-day. Dad. & Frank sheared the old ewe mother to the triplets which came Saturday, she is coming to her milk now. |

Monday March 16th
I spent the forenoon doing chores and tinkering jobs such as fixing some more of my bird house. This after noon I drove down town and took the eggs and got a supply of groceries. I had 12 doz. eggs but they had dropped to 22 cts. so they didn't pay for the groceries. I went in to see Marj. who was feeling better. Aunty was over there holding babies for Mrs. Lawson. I stopped in to see Harry B. who is quite happy and enjoying life. I met Frank on the hill on my way in and it gave me a scare as I thought some thing had gone wrong but he was just going over to Tupper's to look at some hay. I was over at the Lampkin's for awhile this morning Cloudy & raw.
