Snow flurries nearly all day, 25. I finished banking house in am, finished ironing and some sewing, shortened Carol's coat etc. We went to LaVerne's at night for John's second birthday.
Comment: "Banking" the house meant that she probably put hay bales along the foundation to keep the cold air from going underneath the house. Hay bales were normally used but I remember Wild Bill Schermerhorn once piled cow manure and barn bedding about three feet deep all around his house on Bull Hill...I remember Dad commenting on it...he thought it was nuts because of the smell...Happy Birthday John LaVerne Hubbard....."he's much younger than that now".........
