Saturday 7th February 1903
A beautiful day wind N and froze last
night, so they can draw wood from Lindy's.
3 loads to day with one horse (old Nell). Maud
and I work around the house all day. Maud
cleaned and polished the coal stove, cleaned windows,
lamps, floors; Irene got the meals, washed dishes seperator
besides churning. The cream was to cold, and the
butter was hard and a long time churning. Voltie
said Belle is coming down this evening but dont
come. Mr and Mrs Niles & Shell & Jack gone visiting
some where down the island; they drove in here for their
robe that V borrowed yesterday because Frank W
borrowed ours and didn't bring or send it home
this time for Voltie when he went up yesterday to town.
Clear bright sunset and a beautiful moon lit night

Sunday 8th February 1903
Awoke this morning to find a great snow storm in
operation, coming from N.E. This storm must
be Hick's prediction has begun for he prophetized
a great storm between the 8th and 10th. I dont think
Belle & Charley will come down to day: wish they
could come. Voltie has not run his net since
last sunday a week a go to day. Stormed and blew
all day; a big fall of snow but drifting. No one came but
John Wilson for a jug of cider for Frank and Bob Reid
for which he paid 20 cts and Voltie gave it me for postage
