Sunday November 5th

We got up late this morning and as there was no Sunday School this morning took our time going to church. We three boys walked down first and Aunty, Daddy and Enah came down later. The church was reopened this morning and looked fine. The bishop was to have been there but could not come so sent his man. He dedicated the three memorial pieces that had been put in The pulpit in memoriam of Bishop Baldwin, the brass desk of Mr. Skey and the prayer desk of Fa. Daddy and Enah went home for dinner and but the rest of us stayed at Huby's. We went up to church at three o'clock with Aunty to a Children's Day service. After that Frank and I walked up the beach and stayed to Huby's again for tea. Aunty went over to Mrs. Battersby's for tea and Dick came home. I went up to church after tea but was so late that I went behind the organ. So really did not intend to go at all. I found Fatty Turner and Wiser there who said Dad had come down with Enah but had gone off again to kill Holden's old mare. He and Dick came in before church was out. After church I waited {Margin note} quite a while with Aunty for Aunty Maude who was at Miss Battersby's but as she did not come Aunty went down with Daddy and I went down and came home with Frank soon afterward. We went to bed by moonlight as Daddy, Enah and Dick stopped into Mrs. Battersby's on their way home to see Mr. {Gasnon?} who is givng away {som?}. Aunty stayed down to-night as she wants to see about some things to-morrow. It has been a beautiful day and is a beautiful night.

Monday November 6th

It started to rain soon after we got up this morning and rained all day. It has stopped now and is quite mild. Sam Law came this moerning with his man to get his engine he worked around for quite a while but it was too wet to take it. I went down to Vyse's to borrow his post auger as he intended to fix up the barnyard fence if it cleared off and found him getting ready to come after his buckwheat, so I got a ride. He also brought our cultivatorteeth that go on the drilland some punkins. After dinnwe we cut a littl wood and braided corn and sat around freading and watching it rain till it was tme to do chores. We also put the oiece that fits in over the doors in the loft of the horse stable and nailed on the. oards that the threshers knocked off this morning. I have had a sore throat ever sonce the threshing and to night I am getting a cold and throat is gertting better. I spemnt ,ost of the evening drawing a picture from "Punch"
