Thursday 3rd November December
Arose at half past four, rather cold looks
like a storm. Get breakfast and
then Wells Sr, Voltie, Grace & Maude
start for the dock on the old pumper. Ma
is going to see a specialist eye doctor at
wades for a pair of spectacles and
going to her Grandma Watsons from
there leaving me alone. Began
snowing before they reached the dock,
snow falling so thick and fast cant
see to the road. Wellie comes back
with team and does the chores,
brings two pails of water and goes
home leaving me plenty of wood and
water. I clean pantry shelves, wash all
glasses, run candles. Wellie coming
at 3 O'clock p.m., done more chores,
put cows in stanchions and goes to
dock for V & G & W Sr & M. Well I'm tired.
