This has been a beautiful day regular spring although not thawing much in the shade. We changed the waggon box from the sleighs to the waggon this morning and Frank went down after a load of {coal oil?}.

Monday February 14th

I got up at 5.30 this morning and as Marj. was not very well I took her breakfast up to bed to her and had a busy morning of it as I washed all of yesterday's dishes up. We had intended running a load of hay over to the horse stable this morning but as it was so windy Dad. thought we had better not so Frank and I husked a little corn and Dad. did chores and took Rachel out on the halter. This after noon we didn't do much but chores and hauled a sleigh load of hay over for Frank to use to-night. Marj. felt better to-night and we both went down town. She went to the girl's auxillary and I went to band practice after first taking the rough draft of the scroll I made for Mr. Johnston over to show it to him, and he approving it gave me the decorated parchment to fill out. He is getting all packed up ready to leave. Sunny and nice but raw wind.
