It is still to icy to take a team out so we have done nothing but chores all day and sit around the house a good part of the time. Lila came over this morning and was over most of the day as there is no school, they can't get any coal. Tom. was in this morning and took the butter milk can he also went up to the mill for us and got some chop and chicken feed. Will Wright was in this morning to see Dad. about a cow and came back after him to-night about six and Dad. went up with him. I cleaned the separator out this morning and we started separating the milk to-night as we get enough to make it worth while now that John's calf is gone. Enah and I went down to church to-night, it being Ash Wednesday After church I went with Marj. down to Bessie Patterson's and was there for the rest of the evening. Enah stayed to choir practice and then went down to Aunty's to wait for me. Sunny, freezing in shade.
