Monday 7 Decr 1986 warm morning. Awoke this morning to find the ground white with snow. A sort of wierd [sic] ghostly morning. The trees and shrubery were never so beautiful in leafy month of June, though more lasting, than this morning when when every tiniest branch is drooping under the pure whitening of snow. Saw Leatherend peg leging off up the road this morning. Will and Devol went to run nets but got nothing. Wellie went to Niles for his tools V called at Margans for cutter fills . I got to churn and work over butter, butter no good, cream no good, threw 6 pans of milk and cream to the hogs.
