A cloudy day. Rained a little. We all stayed at home but Henry. He went to Dr Owens and spent the day with Stewart. Ben went with Lee Brumfield to Steven Davis s late this evening to get his dog. They come home a bout dark. Josie and I baked breat & made coffee for supper. Today has bin one lonesome dreary day. The roads are so bad that no one cant get a bout much. Ben & Josie milked this morning & Josie milked by her self to night. I wish I could see Carrie & the children once more.

A very bad day. It has rained nearly all day. The trees are covered in ice and lots of limbs has broke off. The weeping willow at the spring fell over this evening. The men could not work out at anything. Ben mended up some chairs. Jim mended his shoes this evening. He is very much complaining tonight. I am uneasy that he is going to be sick. I am uneasy a bout them all. The weather is so bad. I do hope that God will keep them well and able to stand up under it.

A bad day. Rained some & cool. Jim and Ben worked a round some when it was not raining. Josie staid at home and got dinner. She has a quilt in the frames. I did very common. I went to Lee Brumfields and spent the day. I had a pleasand day. Grace had a good dinner. John & Edwin Brumfield was there at work on the porch. Os(crossed out) Oscar Brumfield come for me and brought me home. I was glad to go but hated to leave. So much for Josie to do. Effie come with us home but did not get out of the car.
