Wednesday January 19th

This has been a miserable day. It rained all morning and most of the after noon and the slush and water is all over. Marj. felt very miserable and stayed in bed till nearly noon. I didn't get much but chores done inside and out before noon and spent most of the after noon cleaning out the pullets pen & the rooster pen. It was a back breaking job and I am tuckered plum out to-night. The weather and Marj's indisposition prevented us getting down to see the silver which was very disappointing all around. Marj. has not seen it at all and it may be a long time before it is opened again. Aunty and Aunty Alice were all set for an afternoon with the kids and wanted Walter & Louise to see them. I drove down about four o'clock after it stopped raining with some eggs and cream for Aunty Alice and told them how things happened. I drove Walter over to the farm where he and Louise were going for tea. To add to my trouble Mary ran down the road this morning and I had to chase her as far as Evan's but fortunately for me she had gone in there and I sent Bob. in after her while I waited on the road and headed her for home.
