The snow slowly disolving in the hot rays of old sol as the Earth day by day wheels her Northern temperate zone towards the suns genial warming pan.

Wellie ate dinner here and then Wellie, Voltie and Mart filled the ice house Mart went to OBriens and from there to Morgans for the ice saw and tongs. Shelly Niles came down to see us to day. This is the first time Shelly been here since Lill & Hank were married. A lecture in the Church this evening. Sr coping the North side of the house. Irene churned and mended clothes for Mart. I'm tired of patching. I've patched all winter and made over old stockings and darned scocks. We have no wool or yarn to knit socks and I'm glad of it. I've knit for 60 years and thats enough! W. G.
