Friday, February 2 Took a couple of sacks of grain to the mill this morning to have it chopped but did not wait for it. After dinner, I went down to see how poor old Habe is. They seem to have very little hope for his recovery. I think this has been the coldest day yet. There has been a strong wind. I went in 5 classes for a few minutes. The gas was very low, and there was quite a skimming of ice in the lake in his area and the end fields were freezing. Saturday, February 3 When I got up this morning, I found things in the factory frozen up tight. I was afraid they would be suffering down home, so I walked down to check, but they were comfortable. Frank went down this afternoon. The wind still blows a gale, and it is colder than ever. We have been able to keep pretty comfortable in spite of the weather, except at breakfast this morning it was dragon cold. 28 eggs today.
