Sunday 4 March
A warm cloudless sky light, Wind S.
The heavy snow banks dissolving and
setting away. 5 ice boats out here on
the ice. Wellies, Charley Kendalls, Livingstons,
Niles and the Davis boat. Wellie,
Voltie and Grace out riding on Kendalls
ice boat. Mart came home at 11 A.M.

after 30 cows and 9 horses—said the
stables looked as if they had not been
shoveled out in three weeks. Capt Allen
& wife and Winnie Smith have come down
from Kingston and gone to Smiths and I
sit here in the warm sunlight by the south window.
