A great deal of snow has gone off and water is standing around everywhere. It grew very cloudy and looked like rain towards evening but the rain didn't come. I have been out a lot to-day and feel fine but as it is so wet there is nothing 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 old Archie was not put in till after the 1st of November. George Ryersie was in to-night to say the boys were having a meeting to-night but I didn't go down. Frank went down town with him.

Wednesday March 10th

It didn't freeze last night and has been very soft all day. We just did chores this morning and I painted a little. I got my lesson back to-day which I supposed was burned up with the Post Office. I had another one all ready to post. Tom. Butler was in and borrowed the sleighs to haul some oats. This after noon Frank went out to Lige Farr's sale. Farr was selling a lot of sheep and some stuff he didn't want. Frank said things went pretty well as they were not in very good shape. Dad. has felt very miserable all the after noon he thinks due to the pills Dr. Cook gave him. Enah
