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.

Tuesday March 7th

We did chores up this morning and about eleven I went over to shovell out a track at the top of the hill at the cut on the side road, as Charlie Butler told me yesterday that it ought to be done, and it was too windy and drifting to do it yesterday but when I got over there this morning it was all done. Dad. husked a little corn while I was there. This after noon I cleaned out the dropping boards in the chicken house as they have not been cleaned out for quite awhile on account of the frost. Al. Faulkner came over this after noon and brought over another goose for Frank. To-night, Frank and I drove down town in the bobsleighs to take a load of schoolkids down to Dave Ward's, Olive Ward asked Frank if he could get me to take them down and said Marj. was going too but when we got there they said that they had seen Marj. a little while before going to the doctor's about her neck and couldn't go, so as I didn't know what could be the matter with her, I was a little anxious to know and as I wasn't very keen on going with the kids anyway I excused myself and went up and spent the evening with Marj. she wasn't in a very serious condition but had a stiff neck. Frank took charge of trhe load and got back between three
