Tuesday 16 February 1909
Stormy morning and storms all
day. Maud cleans the floors after
the exit of our visitors. V went over to
Rachels to feed her cow; The day
passes away quietly with howling wind
and fierce snow storm, the very first
snow drifts this winter, all the mail this
day dont amount to much only one post
for Maud.

Wednesday 17 Feb 1909
A clear day wind west & cold.
The girls (Irene and Maud) want to go to the
dance at the villiage and they go. V hitches
up before the cutter and they go up on the
ice but before he goes V hitches up and drove
over to R and carries Louise over there
and looks after her stock. I write letters
to Belle & Grace also send to Pugsley
and Dingnan for books with soap wrappers.
