I drove the cattle around the
road and found gate open
all cattle went out I got
all but the two bulls in
fence down west of gate
fixed fence in the morning
took drills to wilfreds
in afternoon and sharpened
them. Papa worked on ditch

A storm in the night dropped the temperature down to something almost habitable. I can move again. Spent the day conscious of the fact that I will not be leaving town in the next couple of days. There is a part of me that seems to be preparing to go, and I think perhaps it will, take off and leave me here.
