Oh such miserable weather for
wind, snow, rain, slush, dreary dismal
but amidst it all, Emma insisted
on going to school and she went.
Franks kids went also through
[?] wind, slush & snow. Geo Niles
here to dinner, he helped V draw
hay from R's. Geo ruptured himself
yesterday. V fitted him out with a
truss. Jimy Morgan drove in
here for an incubator sitting of
eggs only four dozen. Tis a small
incubator. We churned to day. V going
to town tomorrow if the weather is favorable.
I get very tired being on my feet so
much. If Maud was here she would
wash my feet.

Ground and river froze last night.
Arose early. V going to town with
grist for hog feed and butter & eggs.
Carried 19 doz eggs for R.
Emma goes to school. Our hens
done very well to day. 17 eggs.
Ruttan came to borrow batteries. Frank

his fathers, didn't get any. V came
home at 8 pm just after dad had
gone to bed. V drove the land
