March TUESDAY 5 1895

I have been as buisy as possible to day at geting up wood &c. The snow of yesterday has improved the sleighing very much and it is not likely to lay on the ground very long at this time of year. Feel rather anxious to get up our summers wood before long, for the Spring is advancing & its work will soon be here.

March WEDNESDAY 6 1895

I have been helping my neighbour Jame Hom thresh to day. Had a pretty dirty job, it being mostly clover-seed, and to night I am rather unwell from the dust. The weather is moderating somewhat and a thaw seems likely to follow very soon.
