Saturday January 31st

We didn't do much but chores to-day. Dad. cut a big pile of wood and I Frank carried it and wheeled most of the sand which Dad. got for Frank Slocomb to mend the cistern with from the house over to the drive shed and put it in t dry up the mud as the water as run in a lot since it thawed. This afternoon Dad. and Frank drove down town to get the mail and some provisions. They got a letter from "The Library of Original Sources" saying our books would doubtless be here with in the next few days. I soen tthe evening making entries for the past month in my book keeping book. They haven't nearly payed for themselves. I got six eggs to-day which is the most yet.

Mr. and Mrs. Walt McCall drove Dally over this morning. She cawked one of ther front feet and Walt got f=Dad. to look at it. It has been a very blozzaerdy day but not cold. It was hail sleet when we got up this morning then rain and a blow this after noon with strong east wind which shifted right aroun. To-night it os blowing hard but I think clear.
