Saturday 12 Jan 1895
A glorious day, bright warm and
clear. Seldom such a day at this
season. Set outside, doors open.
Maude and her sled & the dog out
nearly all day. Volties & Wells Jr making ice tongs.
Bamford caping the house all day. Grace
cleaned floors & made cookies. I worked
my dress skirt, took a nap. Wellie here to
dinner. Mr J Niles crossed the ice this morning
and back again, reports ice very poor indeed
full of holes. Wallace & Geo here this eve playing cards.
Voltie helped Will carry in bees true

Sunday 13th Jan 1895
Intended going to Belle's this morning,
Maude & I, but a wild snow storm
is raging from the North, wind
fiercely blowing, snow drifting. Alone all
day. Wellie didn't come up to day.
Jack and Shell out skating
during the short lull in the storm.
Geo & Mart going courting this evening
to Horn's, storm so hard they couldn't
go.
