Saturday Nov 18th A nasty wind all day we fixed the hen coop a little, moved the calves and fixed up things. There is a howling wind blowing tonight and it is colder. We shut the pigs up.

Sunday Nov 19th We all went to church this morning. Auntie and the boys went early to Sunday School. They all went to Huberts to dinner but I came home. Hattie got here about 3 O'Clock and Frank and Toby about 4-30 Dick did not get home until after tea. {Nese?} stayed down town. It thawed a little to day when the sun shone but for the most part it has been cloudy & cold, very dark tonight & quite windy.

I took Mrs Bannisters {?} home, then went down to see if Frank Vyse had the saw sharpened but he was not at home they had sent for him to go to the hospital as Mickey was worse.
