Dad. plowed all day but as it has been freezing a little ever since yesterday it plowed pretty stiff and he didn't get quite so much done, however, he is just about to the old cherry tree so will soon be done. I cleaned a few ditches this morning but spent most of the day doing chores. Frank took some oats to the mill this morning but there wasn't enough water to chop it. I went down to Aunty's to tea to-night. Marj. was there and after tea she Aunty Alice & I went to see "Venus in the East" at the picture show. After the show Aunty Alice went to play bridge at Cousin Clare's and I called for her.

It froze hard last night and there was no chance of plowing and most of the morning was spent doing chores and gettin Enah & Tid. started off for Toronto. They went to Brantford on the eleven o'clock car and were going to take a train for Toronto from there after dinner.They drove Mexico down town and Dad. walked down, stayed to dinner and drove back this after noon. He said Tid. at the last minute was very loth to leave and seemed quite sick.They didn't know whether he was cold or excited, but they persuaded him to go as far as Brantford and then if he still felt sick he could come back, but as they haven't showed up I guess he recovered. This after noon Frank borrowed Jack Martin's hog crate and we weighed up his four hogs, they just averaged 200 lbs apiece. We did chores up early and I went to bed soon after tea and Frank went out to Bill Sidway's.

Frank got breakfast this morning and right after breakfast Dad. left home and didn't show up till after dinner. He went down to Aunty's to clean up a little down there around the barn. Frank has been doing housework all day and I have been doing chores. It began to rain quite early this fore noon and has kept it up all day clearing off at night and a strong west wind taking its place by ten o'clock there was a regular hurricane blowing and it was increasing in violence. Frank went down town to-night and said when he got home that there were several trees blown down and the false front above the roof of Hugh McQueen's store had blown off.
