Thurs Dec 27 Pretty cold all day. The thermometer
made it 6° below zero this morning and it has been
clear and cold all day. Lew went to look at a place
or two this day but is not very much struck on
Either. I worked around until afternoon but I
just fixed at my old overshoes some after that.

Fri Dec 28 Clear and still but pretty
cold 12° below zero this morning. Lew done most
of the chores to day [today] and cut up wood a spell. I fixed
up my old overshoes and that was about all I did
do. Johny got home this evening.

Sat Dec 29 Clear and still and
about 12° or 14° warmer to day [today]. Lew still
looking for a place to rent for the next year
went up to see the Parks place this morning but
there seems to be one or two parties that may be
ahead of him there. Johny and I cleaned out the
calf sheds and some other work at the pens.
Dan McBride came home with Lew and I
guess is going to help him some.

Sun Dec 30 Pleasant but cold.
The day passed as sundays generally does
with all of the family but me. I had a
dizzy or faint spell at breakfast and could
not walk much of any all day. Lew had
went over to Charleys last night and took
Edna and Allie home. He came back to night [tonight].

Mon Dec 31 Clear still and a trifle
warmer. Lew and Dan started this morning
to move his young cattle from Spring Canion [Canyon]
to near where Frank lives. Johny went to school.
I am still quite out of sorts.
