1923 Jan. 23rd Tuesday

A cold, strong south wind during night and all day to-day and cloudy most of day so looked like storm. Will fixed hog-house and brought over 5 sows from B’s and hauled corn over River. I was all in so couldn’t do scarcely a thing but sew a little and baked a cake. Will felt bad with a cold so was a little nervous.
