This has been a very rough day high cold east wind and snow I drove the boys down this morning and went down and shovelled Aunty's snow, they were just getting up when I got there so I had some breakfast with them as I was cold. I didn't do much the rest of the day but sat around and read or sleep. I put a new wick in the incubator lamp and lit it but I wont put the eggs in till it gets going all right. Dad & Enah have been working most of the day and all evening at getting the names out of Mr. Smith's old registers that Huby sent over, they were at it last evening too. To-night I went down to see Marj. The wind had gone down and it was a lovely moonlight night but cold.
