Snowed hard all day. Charlie Rudeau plowed out the [page ripped] again today but they filled up again. It cleared up about 8 p.m. The moon shines, it is truely a beautiful night, everything white with snow in the moonlight. Mora went to the mill and got some more corn. Vernice gave her a cute little dolls hat. She got two letters for Sidney and some catalogues for me. Sidney is quite a lot better but had a headache this a.m. My head has ached all day tho not so bad as yesterday, it is enough to wear us all out. Mrs. Kiltz and daughter moved into Mrs. Dainis's front rooms this p.m. all her furniture was completely cover with snow.
