Saturday December 30th

Did a few chores then Dick and I went down town about eleven. I got my hair cut and a pair of jack boots from Andrew. The pond seemed quite safe but we didn't go out and there were several skating on the creek up by Krill's. Ferdie came over this after-noon and we all went back skating again we went up as far as McPhersons on the north creek but it was not so good as the other. It began to snow and we came up and played hide and seek in the barn the rest of the after-noon. I sawed a little wood before tea & drew most of the evening. Dick lost his knife in the straw. Dark cloudy Day and snowed a lot. and is snowing to-night. Frank found two or three dandelions out to-day which we thought very strange

Sunday December 31st

Snowed a lot during the night but rained and froze before morning. We boys and Aunty went down town church & Sunday-school. Dad and Enah did not come down. Aunty did not come back. We all stayed home this afternoon. I drew a little and started to read "Men too late to Mend." Which I read all evening. There was no service at seven to-night but will be at mid-night. It rained a lot to-day and is blowing up a ferocious gale to night. ({illegible} west)
