a membership ticket for the Horticultural Society. I spent the after noon making a swing stand out of a cheese-box. Marj. had the pattern for it cut out of a magazine. She covered it and it looks quite nice. This was the night the Junior hockey team was to play Woodstock in the semi-finals but it is so soft to-night I don't think they can play. I would have walked in if I had thought they could, as it should be worth seeing.

Friday February 4th

I went over this morning and got Dock. and went after a load of coal. I didn't get started very early and called in at the farm for quite awhile and again at Uncle Ward's to give him Willie Shand's subscription so it was noon when I got to the coal car. Mid. & Shubert loaded me up though before they went to dinner. I went up town and got some groceries so it was well after noon before I got home. I unloaded the coal & took Dock. home, and about four o'clock Harry B and I drove up and saw Sid. Marsh about the Charlie Munroe place as Dad. told me if I could make a deal with him to do it. I can't do much with poor old Dave he wants too much money for his place and wants to put in a little crop this summer. Marsh asked $4500.00 for the place and I offered $4000.00 so he split the difference and I said I would see him again after I had consulted Dad. We met Huby on the highway he had been up to the Cedar Swamp to look for bird house poles and was carrying home a punky stick with a high holder's nest in it to put up for a nest. I was very disappointed to find out this morning that Dover & Woodstock did play last night and Dover got beaten 3 - 0. Fine day.

Saturday February 5th

I went over home this morning to help Frank get the ewe lambs down from Ham. Thompsion's but I was late getting over and it was noon by the time we got there. We brought them down and put them in with the other ewes as we decided it woulsd be simple for me to bring the ram lamb out here. By the time we ha ddinner w ethought it was too late to come out here so we fille dout the application for the lambs pedigrees which Ham had signed and I took them down and posted them and took some eggs down. I called in at Aunty's for awhile and it was nearly dusk when I got home. Raw east wind all day. Heavy snow storm for short time at noon. Milder to-night.
