Tuesday October 19th

First thing this morning I took the team around and got the cockrels in the colony house which Frank and I caught last night and brought them up and shut them in the yard here at the house with the others. Dad. went over to Quanbury's last night to have a bath and they wanted to get us to give them a lift with the team on Charlie's wood shed which he is moving to make into a hog pen so we went out this morning and took the baby, we got the thing moved and back home by noon. John presented us with a heifer calf yesterday. This after noon Dad. plowed and I cut corn, we both got on pretty well. Mrs. McBride was here washing to-day and gave us a great account of the reunion at Shand's schoolhouse, she evidently enjoyed it. To-night Dad. & Enah drove out to the Shand's as it was old Mrs. Nixon's birthday. She had gone to bed but they saw her. Charlie they told them went to the hospital in Brantford a week ago for the rest cure. They also were invited out there on Thursday night to a kitchen shower for Marnie who is to be married next Wednesday. Tid. didnt wake up all evening. Colin Ryerse was in for awhile on horseback as it was a beautiful moon light night. Rather cloudy all day

Wednesday October 20th

Dad. has been plowing all day and I cut corn I didn't get started very early and quit about four but got quite a lot cut and finished the fourth row. Frank came right home from school and he and I got the fanning mill set and a few of the wet oats run through. To-night I went down town and took Marj. for a drive. It was a lovely moon light night but very foggy, however I enjoyed it very much and I think she did. Doc. Hicks was down to-day and said Aunty Maude was getting on as well as possible. She had to go to Brantford on Monday for an operation. Cloudy & Rainy looking all day.
