Tuesday 24 Dec 1895
The sun arose clear this morning
after last nights heavy rain. Very warm
like a fine May day. Very light wind South.
Voltie & Wellie plowing. Grace washing.
Wells Sr doing nothing. A treated him to
grape wine, beef & potatoes for dinner. Maud
expecting Santa claus. Boys came
back from plowing and have gone
gun in hand in the boat up to the
marsh fishing for wood & hunting game
while the day is so very fine: thinking
there may not be another one like this day
for getting out wood again this fall or winter.
Woodmans Boys plow all day. Grace went
to mail 3 letters, one to Belle, one to
Nellie and one to Quinn. W Sr says this
is a day weather breeder. I hope all its children
may be as mild. We have to keep
open doors this day.
