Partly cloudy and some sunshine, on the cold side in the a.m. but it warmed up in PM. Bill put some more blocks on the barn foundation. Walt helped in PM and Betty. Billie gone with Lawrence. I done up regular work, went to town early. Came home, made bread and washed. I ironed, mended, got supper. I washed windows in living room after supper. Cleaned the cupboard by the washing machine also after supper. Lloyd called after supper also. Ilan had a tractor come, a homemade affair.
