Still cold and damp as a shower of rain last night so no Janis’s today. Vere and Leslie gave cattle hay, are feeding most hay butts and turned out on the wheat grass, State Land and Wagner west Side and North of barn on Meadow. Vere looks about calving and had to turn one calf around to have it come right. Will goes out to look around as he is tired of sitting and not reading nor working. Athel came to bring separated milk and some pie plates that we had frozen pies in and had to use as no juice for deep freeze, kept some until gone out on porch.
