I just did chores and husked corn this after noon and to-night I finished making a hopper for Zealand's chickens and helped Marj. make some Christmas candy It has been very mild but cloudy rained this after noon & to-night.

It has been very windy and cloudy all day and is getting colder to-night. I just did chores and husked a little corn. Marj. went down to a tea party at Aunty's this after noon and stayed there for tea to go to a Sunday school meeting afterwards so I stayed at the farm and went down to-night and met Marj. at Huby's.

Marj. went over with me to the farm this morning to practice with Enah for a duet they are going to play at the concert out at the school house next week and we stayed there for dinner. The wind is still very high and it is colder and blizzardy so that we didn't try to do any thing but chores. Frank went down to Pickfords and helped them kill Pickfords old sow. Marj. was to have gone down to a Girls meeting to-night but decided not to go and Frank Smith telephoned over for me to go down to a meeting but I said I was too busy so stayed home and slept all evening.
