Dear Diary

February 29, 1955

Dear Diary,

Wow, what a week! The radio says we're in the middle of the blizzard of the century. Sister Mary Clare and I are still at Living History Farm, and guess what? We're snowed in! But don't worry, we're safe and sound. The snow has stopped falling so much, but brrr, it's gotten super cold, like double digits below zero!

I heard on the radio that some farmers are having a really tough time because their cows can't find food. The snow covered everything, even the empty cornfields. And the snow plows? They're having a hard time too. They can barely move around, and some are just stuck.

I spent my day reading some really old stories in the farmhouse library. It's such a cool place! Sister and I are also keeping up with our Daily Readings from her Roman Missal. It's nice to have that routine.

You won't believe this, but we can't even see our old Chevy anymore. A huge snowdrift covered it up! But inside the farmhouse, we're lucky. We have fresh eggs, milk, bread, and butter. And Farmer Tom's old red barn is still standing strong out there.

Stay warm! Kathy
