some provisions. I killed and picked a young cockrel that was out there for dinner. Tonight Frank has gone down to stay all night with Aunty Alice. Nice sunny day.
Sunday March 4th
I didn't get chores done in time to get down to Sunday school but drove Enah down to church. Aunty Maude was in church and asked me to drive her over to Aunt Lucy's so I did and then came back and drove Aunt Ida over here while Frank & Aunty Alice walked over. Dick was over to dinner too. About four I drove Aunt Ida back down town and Aunty Alice walked. She said she would rather walk than drive. She stopped in at Uncle Wards on her way down and Aunty Maude came down with her. I let Aunty Maude Ida out at Allan's corner and took Aunty Maude in and drove her home. I drove in the buggy the roads are mostly pretty bare but icy in spots which made it hard for Josie as her shoes are smooth. I walked down to tea and went to church alone to-night. After chuch I went for a very short walk with Marjorie and then went up to see Cousin Loll. I called in at Aunty Alice's on my way home. Winnie was going to stay there all night. It has been getting much colder all day to-day and is snowing quite hard to-night with a strong north east wind.
