Saturday 1st March 1902
Thawing now every day, partly
cloudy partly sun but slush
and mud knee deep and
over shoes every where - dirty
pools and puddles of water
and disapearing snow banks covered
with dirt. Wind N.E. dark clouds
hovering all around the horizon.
Wells went over and pitched in hay
for R. and she sent over two
lbs butter. Maud cleaned the floors,
and swept & made beds & cooked
and washed dishes and baked beans
washed the churn & set it away
till spring. Maud found her lost
ring for which I'm very thankful
for it was her mothers weding
ring. Wells drove down for Voltie
and brought home Volties
skiff. Supper ready when they
come. Lennie Paterson here till 10 pm.
