Monday 16 Nov 1908
A nasty cloudy day, chilly, Wind S.
blowing hard all night. Voltie plowing
on Rachel. Maud stewing pumkin
for pies. I am much better this morning
and work around all day, begins snowing
towards noon & snows so hard and furiously
that V turns out and comes home. Works
around till dinner time. (can always
find work enough to do with in doors and out)
After dinner Voltie sharpens plow coults
for Woodman's. Then goes over to Rachels
and pulls hay enough to last her cow two
day, comes home and drives to school for Stell Taggart.
Maud baking pumkin pies, chocolate cake,
jumbles. I stew beef, cook beans, put
cucumber pickles soaking, churn, work and
pack the first butter in the 4 gal. crock.
Try to make an apron didn't get it
done.
