Sunday December 5th

I got up at 9.30 this morning and went over to the farm before breakfast and then Marj. and I went down to Sunday school and Church. We came back for dinner which we had rather late and then we sat around for about an hour and read some of Wilson MacDonald's poems which I enjoyed very much. I went over to the farm about four to help do chores but as they were not expecting me there was nothing to do so back I came and Marj. and I went down to the Will Wood's for tea and spent the evening. We stopped in at Auntys for a few minutes on our way home. Dull cold, drizzly and windy to-day.

Monday December 6th

Dad. ploughed all day and {Frank?} rolled over. He was up early as the top {illegible phrase} off during the night and he got up before daylight to see if anything was hurt. Luckily nothing was. I spent the whole day doing chores and husking corn. Frank helped me husk corn and I helped him put the cabbages out of the waggon down cellar and we ran the waggon into the orchard. He wants to fill it and get another barrel of cider. Marj. & Enah went to a bridge party at the Harding's this afternoon I painted a lesson to-night. Dull and drizzly

Tuesday December 7th

Dad. ploughed all day. I did the chores up and then Frank and I picked up enough apples to make a barrel of cider. This after noon we husked corn. To-night they all came over here to tea from the farm and we had Marj's birthday present of partridge and venison which was delicious. Frank left right after tea to go out to a practice at Shands. Bright to-day but quite a cold wind. Auntie Alice came over at noon and brought Marj. some forks and spoons that Luby Williams sent her and this after noon the whole staff of teachers came over and presented her with half a dozen sterling forks dandies. Yesterday she got a very pretty {illegible} brass kettle on a stand & burner from Elsie & Walter.
