It snowed enough yesterday to make the sleighs run so Frank and I hauled out manure all day and got about 8 or 9 loads out on the root ground. We cleaned out both box stalls & the calf pen and hauled five or six loads from the cow shed pile. Uncle Ward came over this morning for a visit and went home when I went at noon. Marj. came over after dinner and helped Tid. make valentines all the after noon. He has been quite sick with gripper or a very bad cold and doesn't go out of the house at all. Very soft
