Monday 10 March 1902
A fine warm morning thawing.
A frosty morning. After breakfast
dishes washed, Maud picked over beans.
I'm tired doing without butter, milk or
eggs. Our neighbors on every side of
us have all three. I cook the last
of our beef to keep it from spoiling.
Wells Sr pitching hay & straw in barn
all fore noon. I cut out my wrapper.
Maud made an apron. I tore off another
sheet and in evening cut carpet
rags. Maud reading Vagrant wife.
Sr goes to to bed at 8 pm. Maud and I
go at 9 p.m. forgot to say I partly wrote
a letter to Mrs Grace and one to box
114 Kingston, Ont & forgot to say Maud went
to Mrs Niles for sweet milk. Geo Morgan
sale came off to day. Going to sell every
thing and go west where Jim & Bernard are.
