Sunday 26 January 1908
A long quiet Sabath day. No one here
in all the day only Voltie and his father
and I. I thought Rachel would come over.
Dont understand how she can stay alone
so much. A dark and cloudy am.
It began to snow about 1 Oclock p.m. and
I never saw the snow fall faster and
heavier without much wind and
wind there is, is from the N.E.
Thermometer 16 deg above zero.
We had bean soup for dinner currant
pie, boiled potatoes, bread, butter, cookies &c.
Not much of anything eaten but soup.
Forgot to feed the dog his dinner.
Sr reading "Two Years Before the Mast".
V reading one of Blackmore's yarns.
I dont read much of anything only
look through McLeans Magazine
and wish I had some one to help me
about the work. The river ice is covered
deep with snow. How many, many
winters I've seen the snow cover the river.
Devolson brought in too new laid eggs today, which was
about eight.
