When I went out in the kitchen this morning I saw that the poor plants had caught it. They were frozen stiff. I went out as soon as I had the fires going well and fed everything. Frank said he thought he felt a little better and would get up as soon as it got a little warm. He has been better today walked over as far as Jack Martins to get the roosters but Jack did not have them ready and said to come at 3 O'Clock, so I went over and got a couple. It is not so cold tonight but cold enough. | When I went out in the kitchen this morning I saw that the poor plants had caught it. They were frozen stiff.

Nothing much to report today. Frank felt much better and did quite a lot of the chores. I went down home this morning for a few minutes. Mrs. Quanbury was over this after noon and Lloyd Ryerse was here this evening. It has been cold all day and is cold tonight. They are cutting ice we will have to get our ice house ready.
