Tues Feb 13 Clear and cold but still.
Lew and Frank killed the little stocking heifer
this morning and then after dinner Lew and Mary
moved over to their place so we will have
to play it alone hereafter. Mrs Dixon made us
a visit this afternoon. Frank went to town
this afternoon and I spent the day by the stove.

Wed Feb 14 Clear still and pretty
cold. Frank and Mary went to town and
done some trading this forenoon and this
afternoon Frank took out some potatoes and
done some other small jobs.
I kept out of the cold sharp air.

Thurs Feb 15 Clear and still but cold most
down to zero. Mr Laring Giddings was here this morning
and is going tomorrow to see our steers up at the
ranch. Reas and Ett were here and made us quite
a visit and Lew was here after some of his and
Marys things. Frank attended to the chores
and some other small items.
I staid [stayed] by the stove as usual.

Fri Feb 16 Clear but quite windy a
good deal of the time but is getting a good deal
warmer. Frank and Mr L Giddings went
up to the Spring Canion [Canyon] ranch and they
brought down all of the cattle and Nancy
Hanks too.
