and after dinner I went over to Franks again. We were all home to dinner. Monday was a lovely day I ploughed all day. Toby went for his sheep and got 4 nice lambs Tuesday I was up early hoping to get in a good day with the plough, but it began to rain before daylight, and poured all the forenoon. After dinner Bill Donald came after me, and I was over there most of the afternoon, then went down town. I churned for over an hour in the evening. I drove the boys to school and went on out to see how Sadie Macphersons was.

Wednesday Nov 29th I did not get any ploughing done. I opened up some of the ditches n the corner field - has been pretty cold and is freezing hard.

Thursday Nov 30th It was frozen too hard to plough to day. Hubert back with the train but could do nothing. We did odd chores beside the regular ones. Wese & Hattie went to bible class in the afternoon and Hattie stayed down to tea at the Macphersons and went to practice I called for her in the evening.
