Cold! Cold! Cold! Never have we seen such weather. Temperature down to 22 degrees mornings of 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Still not a bit of rain.
Had the bulldozer up again. He finished digging septic tank trench. Took him 2 hours to go one foot. Would have taken Weaver several weekends I guess. Also, he made a back road for us and finished clearing the orchard. We hope to get a garden of some sort in. Need some rain first though.
Went in to Mom's to do my wash on the 3rd. Kept Susy home. Hot water system on fritz again. Olive Staples and Ruth were there for lunch. Dora and Patrick too.
John and Sue both got good report cards. Guess Johnny is in the 7th grade for good now. He has been very good about his school work.

Feb 5th and 6th- RAIN-HAIL-WIND. At last it is raining. More hail than I have ever seen. The ground was covered this morning. Still lots of clouds, so expect more rain. This shack leaks like a sieve. Pans in each room catching water. Drip! Drip! Drip!
Feb 8th and 9th- We all worked at putting the gravel (10 tons) in trench for the septic tank. What a job! Weaver of course did the most but we all worked hard too. The weather was beautiful. The line is half laid. Should be completed and ready for inspection next week.
Pappy's cast is off. Was taken off the 16th of January. Feels better but still having trouble with his legs. Trial comes up March 31st in Stockton. Says he will be down there too. Hope Loretta comes.
Mabel and Phil and two little girls came to call. Hadn't seen them for two years.
Weaver finally finished septic tank. What a relief! It was an awfully big job.
Maggie painted window frames again. Won't be long before they are finished. I hope!
Johnny went for his first real long hike. Buddy and Mr Wilson went too. Up to Beacon light and then over to the tower. A long, long way.
Inspector gave OK on septic tank. Have to make changes in leach line.
Maggie painted window frames again. Flat is on (2 coats) most of them. Cannonball sleeps out there on Sundays and we have a big lunch when he wakes up. We all look forward to weekends.
McNerney's were up on the 23rd. We all had a nice day.
Pop and Bart came up on 22nd. Pop is fairly satisfied with our progress.
Zylpha has pneumonia! Dora has gone over to Catalina to take care of her. Dora quit her job.
Maggie went down to look at sinks. Picked out a honey. $80.00 but really nice. Crane.
Weather is lovely but we sure do need more rain!
Spent the day over at Jeanne's. Hadn't seen her since Christmas. Sure did have a nice visit. Christina is a darling.
Went to Farmor's for dinner. Really a swell dinner. Looked at movies after.
Bud came up (Feb 29th) and helped Weaver finish framing around fireplace, etc. Ought to be able to start paneling soon.
Finished leach line. Open for inspection. Bought a sink and returned it next day.
