1890

Feb 7th Friday. A beautiful morning. Wells went to Kingston this morning. Started at 8. Went with buggy. Ground bare. No rain. No snow. River partly covered with thin ice. J Niles over the river yet but our boys skate along the shore down to Hornes and back, cloudy most all day, looks like snow. Eddy, Eben & Woodman's boys skating between here and J Niles ice like a mirror, freezing, Wind East. Grace made cookies and fried cakes. Will over here to get team to draw wood. Will not well, talks of going to Ganonoque [sic] tommorrow [sic: tomorrow] with Spaff with butter. Welly gone down to All's again with milk for Muriel. John didnot go to school. Volty came home on a visit from aunt Hannah's - shoved a punt across on the poor ice. Wells came home from K at 8 AM. Another new milk cow.
