and all over town but couldn't find him so got Joe and started for Enah when I saw him with Huby, he went up with me and showed me the mare and told me we could either buy her now for $120.00 which is the price he paid for her or we could bring her over and let her raise her colt and sell her in the fall and share the profits so I told him we would get her soon, I got Enah down at Aunty's and we got home about noon. Tupper came after Dad. right after dinner to see a cow so I did up the chores and about five o clock drove down and got Mrs. McBride. To-night Dad. Enah and I drove down to the concert given by Zeitha Barwell, Miss Prest and Miss Martin and it was certainly worth hearing rather high toned an classical maybe for most of us but enjoyable nevertheless. It has been a very stormy and disagreeable day Strong east wind and a blinding snow storm this morning afterwards turning to rain and freezing. It was still raining when we got home but had got much milder and the ice was dropping off the trees and making a great row. We saw several vivid flashes of lightening while the concert was in progress and Mrs. McBride said that they heard thunder plainly over here. She stayed all night but hadnt gone to bed when we got home.
