A blustering snow day. The wind
gathers up the snow and drives it swirling
through the air. no mail to day for
the roads are drifted. V has to chop open
water holes for water for every purpose
to water horses, cattle, hens, sheep, hogs, and
for the house. Joe here helping Voltie.
V phoned to Johny OBrien to go to
McFarlands for hog feed while [Johny OBrien|[John]]
is in town tomorrow. John could get
only 200 lbs. Great talk of going
to Depauville to a masquerade next
Friday and a dance here a week from
tomorrow night. I dont mind the
Masquerade but the dance out.
Joe here to dinner.
