Was only 6 above near noon and some snow fell, and in p.m. rose to 9 above and sunset bright. Fritz helped chore, gave the cattle a load of hay off the east end of the big stack, then he went to Lattimores via the store on his saddle horse, and was back before dark. Will chored, then Wm Whiting came, and after we had dinner, we played rummy and pitch. Wm went on to Boyd’s. He came from Ed’s on his saddle horse and led Boyd’s horse.
Maggie got the meals and did the necessary work and swept floors. I played solitaire and read stories, and my cold and throat are better. Noble Moore, Jr. went by to the store on horse-back.
