before I came home last night and this morning there was quite a {words very faint}. It was not cold though. I went over to the farm and helped do the morning chores and then Dad said there was nothing much to be done outside {words very faint} came back home, which I did {words very faint} home not going over to do the chores to-night. Dad. walked over with me and went on down to Aunty's with some milk. I stayed in and fixed up Mr. Johnston's scroll and read all day. This after noon Frank and Dad. went by with Billy {words very faint} sleighs and Harry with him and later they came along with George. They said they had no trouble with them at all although Billy {words very faint} got away from them when the tongue hit him turning in the lane. They had to let him run up the lane and turned into the cornfield and turned around. George was very tame too much so in reality. He seems to lack ambition. I went out before six and shovelled the snow.

Saturday February 12th

This has been a beautiful day. The mercury went down to about 10° above zero during the night but it was bright sunny and no wind all day. This morning we hooked the colts up again and drove Billy out to Shand's corners. George we took down town. It was nearly noon when we started for town so I took my milk and jumped off here and stayed till after dinner. This after noon Dad. Enah and Tid drove out to the Shand's and Frank and I husked corn. The Tuxis boys came over to-night. Marj. went down town this morning and baked, swept scrubbed & darned.
