Saturday 1 February 1908
This is the last day of the week and the
first of the month, and a perfect day
of snow with no wind, snowing this
morning when we arose and continually
falling all day as fast as the clouds can
sift it down. Two feet in depth or more at
noon. Ray and Voltie hitched up and
drove over to Rachels carrying her mop
wringer and some flour, buttermilk, eggs,
sweet milk. Then they played checkers till
Maud and I put the dinner on the table
and now they are gone to the shop to
work. Sr sitting around the stove all day
we baked bread. too stormy to mop floors.
Evening we sit up and read till 10.30 pm.
Wind commencing to blow which
soon will heap the snow in huge drifts
