March FRIDAY 1 1895
Worked this forenoonat sundry jobs, too numerous to mention. This afternoon I have been cuting wood in the woods. Had a rather disagreeable time both in going and in returning from the woods owing to the water in the gullies & the snow in the lane, where I had to go. The thaw has ceased however and we seem likely to have winter for a while again.

March SATURDAY 2 1895
Have had Jim home to help me to day and I have tried to improve it as best I could, at sawing wood with the cross-cut saw in the woods. He has improved very much this Winter as a sawyer and I can do almost as much as a man with his help. Had Mr Awford here to day to see about working a part of the farm.
