Mon Feb 5 Clear still and very nice after
it got warmed up but 6 and 8 above zero early.
Lew and I went up to the ranch found the
stock all alive but some of the cattle are
rather slim. Found quite a bit of snow
up there. Bud said it was about 9 inches
when it first fell. Frank started to
seek his fortune drove the mares and
led Beauty. Wants to sell Beauty and
bring a load of coal with the mares.

Tues Feb 6 Clear and still and quite
warm through the middle of the day. Lew went
off on a speculation this morning. I have
been very much under the weather to day
from a hard cold I got yesterday.

Wed Feb 7 Clear and nice again.
Lew went up to the hills to day and brought
down his mares. Frank has not got home
yet and I staid [stayed] in most of the time
and done lots of coughing and sneezing.

Thurs Feb 8 Quite a stormy day
snowed about an inch and blew it around
very lively. Lew went up to Spring Canion [Canyon]
to get his stores and some other things there.
Drove Dom and one of this mares.
I dont feel much like work yet so
I staid [stayed] by the stove most of the time.
