December THURSDAY 12 1895

Have spent most of the time too day visiting with our relatives Nora and A.G.Rose at their new residence in Lynn Valley. They have only lately begun to occupy this new home. The weather has been very cold and Wintry, so that our ride to Lynnvalley & back was anything but pleasant. The roads also were quite rough. Found our friends very comfortable in the new home.

December FRIDAY 13 1895

I worked this forenoon at sundry jobs, the weather was very cold. This afternoon Mr Awford and John have been helping got some straw drawn from the stack to the drive-barn for feeding to the horses. The weather has been moderating this afternoon somewhat. Close winter weather has been the order of the day ever since it began.
