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.
