DECEMBER THURSDAY, 16 1886

Peter and I helped Mr Hom finish his threshing this forenoon This afternoon we have been cuting wood in the woods. The threshing business don't seem to agree with me very well. I am quite poorley again as the result. The weather is quite changeable. To night there is every appearance of a fall of snow This would be a great convenience to us just now.

DECEMBER FRIDAY, 17 1886

Peter and I helped neighbour Hom thresh again this forenoon. This afternoon we have been cuting wood in the woods. Have felt like anything but work though. Threshing almost invariably makes me sick. Would be glad if farming could be done without having to do such dirty work. The weather is looking much like Winter snow is falling to night.
