Northern Lights were so bright that it was almost as light out as bright moon light except that there were no shadows. Freezing very hard.
Thursday April 15th
It was cold this morning but bright and as Marj. wanted some paint & stuff for the house and I wanted to go over and take some oats to the mill we went to town. Marj. stayed at Aunty's for dinner but I went over to the farm. Frank had just left with his plough & tractor to do some ploughing for Jones up at the Halfway House and Dad. & I didn't get the oats bagged up before dinner, so by the time we got them bagged up after dinner and I got down to the mill with them I decided it would be too late for me to wait for them and take them home so I went back & put the team in and went down after Marj. She was still up town when I got there. Aunty Alice is sick enough to be in bed but won't ease up much on her activities. We brought Gay home with us.
