Northern Lights were so bright that it was almost as light out as bright moon light except that there were no shadows. Freezing very hard.
Thursday April 15th
It was cold this morning but bright and as Marj. wanted some paint & stuff for the house and I wanted to go over and take some oats to the mill we went to town. Marj. stayed at Aunty's for dinner but I went over to the farm. Frank had just left with his plough & tractor to do some ploughing for Jones up at the Halfway House and Dad. & I didn't get the oats bagged up before dinner, so by the time we got them bagged up after dinner and I got down to the mill with them I decided it would be too late for me to wait for them and take them home so I went back & put the team in and went down after Marj. She was still up town when I got there. Aunty Alice is sick enough to be in bed but won't ease up much on her activities. We brought Gay home with us. As who ever hauled the cream yesterday failed to collect our can I went over to-night and asked Mrs. Lampkin if I could take it there and churn it and as the Harvey Evans were there I went with them down to the corner and got the can and left it with Mrs. Lampkin. Cold wind. A cablegram came from Mr. Parks to-day Friday April 16th reading "Judge has appointed 5th May for hearing argument "in" (obiously should be "if") evidence on child is complete. As anticipated Simmons releases claim to actual realty so name & arms will be argued on that day anyway."

I was up before daylight this morning owing to Gay's return but it turned out a rotten morning, rain hail snow & high wind from the west, took the joy out of life for a few hours but this after noon it cleared off and was not so bad. I intended going after my chop this fore noon but put it off owing to the weather and went over to churn instead but when I got there Mrs. Lampkin had it all churned & worked. I went over to Trum Walkers and got $1.07 refund on our unused milk tickets. This after noon I went after the chop. Dad.
