Monday, January 15,

When I went out in the kitchen this morning I saw that the poor plants had caught it. They were frozen stiff. I went out as soon as I had the fires going well and fed everything. Frank said he thought he felt a little better and would get up as soon as it got a little warm. He has been better today walked over as far as Jack Martins to get the roosters but Jack did not have them ready and said to come at 3 O'Clock, so I went over and got a couple. It is not so cold tonight but cold enough.

Monday, January 16 Not much to report today. Frank felt much better and did quite a bit of the chores. I went down home this morning for a few minutes. Mrs. Quibburg visited this afternoon, and Floyd Reaves was here in the evening. It's been bitterly cold all day, and tomorrow is expected to be just as frigid. They’re calling for more snow, so we’ll need to stock up on supplies.
