went up to Cousin Clare's to tea. To-night Aunty and I went to church where Aunty Alice Joined. Enah was also down and stayed to choir practice and I met her at Aunty's. Huby and Aunty Maude were down there. A very nice sunny day but sharp.
Thursday March 1st
I spent most of the morning getting the incubators in shape to start. I lit the lamps in both of them. Dad. went down to Aunty's for dinner as Aunty left to-night for Toronto. She is going down for a couple of weeks to celebrate Rebecca's birthday. I didn't do much this after noon but went down and prowled around in Dicky Steven's orchard for awhile. To-night we all went over to the Quanbury's as they have been inviting us for quite awhile to come over and hear their new Victrola. Just as we were coming out the lane we heard voices down the road and waited to see who it was. It turned out to be Dick & Dess who had been out for a walk and were coming to the farm but they came over with us to the Quanbury's but Dick had to leave before us as he promised Aunty Alice to stay down there to-night. It has been a very nice sunny day but with a raw wind.
Friday March 2nd
We haven't done much but chores to-day. Frank and I
