plesant day snow melting-
I pumped about a quart of water from the well
canned 3 pints of cauliflower pickle
wrote a letter to Clara-
Sewed a little more on princes slips-
Have one all made-
Snow sliding off the roof broke the bulb to the Electric light over the well-
Mother good all day-
no letter from Iliff yet this week-
55 year old widow, Irene Dolton (nee Smith), kept a diary while living in Ludlowville, NY with Mother & Aunty in 1936.
