Friday 30 January 1903
Voltie and I started from Belles at
8 a.m. found the roads bad for traveling
slumpy, horses sometimes going in up to their
knees floundering and came nearly tipping over
several times and to add to our greater
discomfort the west wind blowing a gale
but arrived home at 1/2 past 10 all right,
went straight to getting dinner, but Maud
had the house all tidied up very fine, cakes
baked and a big plate full of sweet apples
the remainder of the day employed itself in snow
squalls and blizzards from the S.W. I tired and
sleepy and go to bed at 1/2 past 7. Maud sleeping
with me. Weather so bad cant go to PG this eve

Saturday 31st and last day of week and last of Jan 1903.
A blizzardy morning but partly clears up at noon.
Our hens eating their eggs about as fast as laid.
Voltie working in shop at sleigh building; dont
know what Sr does. Maud cleaned all the floors.
After dinner Maud goes to Mrs Niles
for subscription for American woman
Inez came home with her,—came for milk for coffee, staid
for supper and till after the cows were milked. In
evening sat up and read, commenced a new quilt
log cabin pieced one block and a half.
