Thursday 6th February 1908
A change in weather, warmer 6 deg above
freezing; arose at 7 am ate breakfast at
8 am. Snowing, blowing and drifting all night.
We do about as we have a mind to these days.
That is we dont do much of any thing except
get the meals and wash dishes. Snowing and drifting
all day. The drifts are in various fantastic shapes in
hills, vales, curved and twisted, plain and
undulating. The wind has swirled around the
trees till each one stands in a cup of snow.
I wrote for a subscription to the "American
Woman" & "Good Stories" will send tomorrow
by mail. I knit on second mitten but
but dont finish it. Voltie working in shop
and teaching Ray to make axe handles. He
made two. Father dont do anything only
milks two cows, feeds the pigs and sits by
the fire all day! Evening time, V and
Ray play checkers till bed time.
