Monday April 6, 1914

Quite a warm day a few flakes of snow in the air on and off all day. Sidney went to the mill at 7 but as the water was so low they did not need him and he got ready and went away with the scroll. Mora and Maud went to school came home to dinner. Mora brought several letters, one from Mrs. Woodard written for Mina, she sent me a $2.00 bill. Avis came home with Mora played a while and Maud went down home with her, and got back in about 20 minutes. Mora went to P.O. and got a money order of $1.75 sent to Larkin Soap Co., and then to Mallory's and got a qt. of milk before we eat supper. Just caught a mouse in one of the traps at 8:20pm.

Turned cold about 4 a.m. has been a piercing cold day all day with a rough north wind, the children nearly froze going to and coming home from school. Mora and Hazel Lynch went home with Avis Weatherup to get buttermilk. Sidney went to Brewerton, took a bottle of voilet toilet water for Kittie Woodard rec'd 50c for it also a jar of rose talcum powder for Mina 15c, this is the last to be delivered. Sidney said it was much colder out there and very cold coming home. He walked both ways and nearly colapsed on the way back. Bert Piquet came to see about Sidney helping cut some log's and Mrs. Beasonson called to see him about cutting some wood. She wants to cut her shade trees by the house.
