January TUESDAY 7 1896

I have engaged at woodcuting to day. Mr Awford's have also been helping. There has been but little change in the weather: except continued signs of a snowstorm. Had an offer of Lombard plum sees for next spring's planting at twelve cents each. This is by far the lowest price so far. The Green Company of Rochester in the party.

January WEDNESDAY 8 1896

We were cuting wood in the woods again this forenoon. This afternoon I have been geting up some wood for us our own use. The little snow that has lately fallen makes it peosible to draw wood with the sleighs. There is a constant appearance of snow, but it only seems to come in moderate quantities. If it keeps on however it will not be long befor we have sleighing in earnest.
