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.

Thursday January 20th

This has been a very nice day. It was cloudy but not cold and there was no wind. It froze just hard enough to stiffen up the slush and the air was like Spring. I spent the forenoon putting battons on the cracks of the west end of the barn where I am fixing the calf pen. This after noon we all drove down town to see Louise and Walter. Aunty Alice and Vernon were out at a bridge party but Walter, Roy Aunty & Louise were there and we had a very nice after noon. I drove Louise to the station as she left on the 3.45 car and Walter went down with us. I then drove Marj. up town to do her trading and I collected my returned poultry crates one of which was at each express office. I left them in the barn at Aunty's until I can get them. Aunty gave us a cup of tea before we left for home and it was dark when we got here. We got 28 eggs to-day.
