ToDay is the Birthday of ___________
Fair and warm, best day yet.
I went up on the hill and put out some grain for the birds.
Went over to the store and got the Sunday paper.
Saw Carl Sherman and had a talk with him about arrowheads.
Toot and Arthur Cox cam in this afternoon for a couple of hours.
There was more people walking today than I have seen for a long time.
Thelma has a hard cold and is feeling sunk.
Food sales have stopped till March.*
Point to Point Ration books are to be issued next week.
A month from today is the first day of spring.
“Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.” Carlyle.
* They weren’t able to buy food for a week? I realize Jesse’s family had a rich diet of food that he hunted and harvested, but were all families able to survive without a weekly grocery trip? I know my reference points are probably skewed – my three teen/preteen boys would revolt if I didn’t get a load of groceries every few days!
Meat and cheese and butter were the major food rationed products. There were ways around it. I slaughter a hog and you have something I need. (barter) I have a ration book from this time period.
