Wednesday 26 Feb 1908
A cloudy morning, gently raining.
V & Ray going to Dailys Woods to split wood,
dont start very soon. It began to rain steadily
and plentifuly and they didn't go but worked
in shop all day. Sr fixing suspenders.
I set log cabin quilt together. Maud
working on rug, and sweeping, getting meals,
helping wash dishes &c. C Woodman phoned to
Voltie about drawing the school wood from
the villiage. Allison wants the remainder taken
away from his wood yard. Evening V & Ray
play a wee game of checkers. They dont appear
to have such an intense interest in the game
as formerly. Before night the rain turned to
snow. Rather difficult to keep the cats out the
house. I cant say I'm very fond of cats, they are
around the floor mewing even after they have
had saucers full of bread and milk and
the old dog is fat and lazy and hes around
in midle [sic] of the floor most of the time.
Our hens broke loose again, got one egg.
