Wednesday December 27th

It was very blustery all day to-day. Snowed a little and froze quite hard at night. Frank and I went out first thing and dug the holes for the little trees in the orchard. Then we got in rails for wood before dinner. We had dinner at about eleven as Dad and Enah had to get to a funeral. (Mrs. Thompson). Dick went down and pumped the organ, and Frank & I did Chores. Frank wrote a letter to Aunty {Peggy?}. When Dick came home we went out and played hide & seek in the barn till supper.

It froze very hard last night and there was a cold nor'west wind so we did not get up extra early Dick and I went down town about ten o'clock. I wanted to change a pair of jack boots Dad got for me yesterday and {illegible} but Andrew was not there. We called in and got Cecil McPherson who went over home with Dick and I waited for Aunty.
