1950. Thru ironing by 9. TO P.O in cold wind. Cut out teal faille suite for spring.

1951. Sunny. Thaw in P.M. I knocked down huge icicles from south eaves. Washed soot from window sills, made 2 holders, mended. Drove to locker for last of pork. Took guild writeup to MTT. Called on [Deone?], who agreed to be pancake supper chair.

1952. Neither of us slept well nor felt very good. I baked bread, melted some 20 lb. honey. Called on "bill" WG Williby in PM.
