A great deal of snow has gone off and water is standing around everywhere. It grew very cloudy and looked like rain towards eveing but the rain didn't come. I have been out a lot to-day and feel fine but as it was so wet there is noithing much but chores to do, they will begin to increase from now on however as when Frank went out this morning he found that two ewes had lambed one of dad's ewes had two lambs and No 55 had one. It was a mild night and they are all right. The lambs are we suppose sired by the yearling that got in with the ewes two or three times last fall as Au=rchie was not put in till afyter the 1st of November. George Ryersie was in to-night to say the biys were having a meeting to-night. but I didn't go down. Frank went down town with him.
