Saturday February 24th

I went out this morning and pruned the Northern Spy tree but as the wind kept getting stronger I didn't tackle another tree as it wasn't warm enough out there although sunny I then started to help Dad. clean out the pen in the sheep barn where John and her calf were. While we were at it Frank who had gone down town after some groceries came back with Aunty Alice so we didn't do much else while she was here but she went back soon after dinner. Frank got a three cornered file down town and has been sharpening all the saws and making a pretty good job of it too. Enah expected Zeitha over this afternoon to practice a song she is going to sing in Church to-morrow but she didn't come. She expects to go to the other side next week. Nice day but cloudy this after noon and much colder to-night
