About 40 this morning.  I guess it melted all night.  Its muddy and more of the snow is gone.  Cloudy.  Joe came today.  High 52 in Hannibal.  Mostly cloudy all day with no precipitation.  I felt so tired and ornery this morning.  I played around until noon.  Felt better this afternoon and washed a few loads.  Gene and joe opened up the trench silo and hauled away some of the top that was spoiled.  They also hauled some manure out of the barn.  Joe went home about 2:15 to take the baby to the Dr.  Gene went to town, picked up the income tax forms.. Brought the kids home.  Had a long letter from Grandad and Aunt Jerry.  Gene got some paint and varnish remover and a scraper.  he tried taking the paint off a little table in the basement after supper and got along pretty good.  A conservation man brought some literature on quail and rabbits out for grandad.
