Weather looks gloomy. Cloudy and Wind from the North, not very cold. We may have rain or a Blizzard before night comes. All are up and about their daily occupations. I'm slowly gaining my health if my Ears and Throat would only heal. My window Plants are growing, looking so hearty and pretty. All were re-arranged yesterday, as usual I move each plant and setting them in new positions so they can get the Sun light on all sides. Geraniums are 18 and 20 inches tall, leaves 5 inches broad. Some white Chinese Lillies are in bloom and Fluffy Ruffles has grown a foot this Winter. It is beautiful. Begonias have put on growth but are not in bloom.

Mary spent last evening with young friends at Clinton, Marjorie Standley among them. Marjorie's folks are near here.

My Azalea is source of joy and pride, so beautiful and blossoms completely cover shrub. Scripture reading Isaiah 25:4, John 3:1-11

I made a sewing bag to put articles in that need mending. The day has been mostly in writing Jack and Lela. Received a long letter from Guy Pafford with news and names of young ladies that visited here with him and Paul. Josephine Cronin, 750 De Barr, Norman and Luverna Mahaney, 408 S.E. 28th, Oklahoma City.

Dad bought 18 calves, cost was $710. They were brought here at dark tonight. Frank will have some work to do now keeping up fences, watering and feeding calves. Mary retired to her room early, very tired from the activities of the week. Dad seems very pleased over buying the calves.
