A very cold night and water froze in our room and cold morning as N.W. breeze snappy but began to thaw at mid-day as was real bright but breeze from N.W. cool all day. Louise washed some handkerchiefs & hose and went to Tom’s to teach the children catechism and home late eve. The men hauled hay and then William went to hunt coyotes and John Wisenberger came so Will visited with him. I just sat around and got something to eat but not much as shoulder pains. Several cars and a mover wagon passed to-day. Helen came to sell chance on candy and went on to Tom’s as Reva, LeMoyne and Charlotte there to trade at store.

Bright and colder. Quite a strong N.W. wind. LeMoyne and Fritz took lunch and wind came up so they went out towards hills a mile and came back but Will sent them back to get a load even if it is windy so they put 4 in stack on Hampl Land and brought 1 load home and put in big stack. I got meals and mopped floors and baked apple and cherry pies. After supper Frank went to Henry Acorn’s and had his hair cut and back after we went to bed. Henry came and he and Will worked at the shed, set posts and leveled them. Will made a place for the puppy by the porch. Mr. Wheeler, Harold and Perry and Stanley Whiting brought in 1 ton Salt and rest of the shed lumber after supper last evening.
