"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Thursday December 2nd.

A clear sunshiny day with some thawing That everlasting cow-barn took up the time of the other
two men of the house almost to the exclusion of everything else. I knocked around, felt better,
and cleaned out the stable a task which as it had been neglected for two weeks might in one sense
of  the term be called Herculean

Teaching Notes: You may have a student who has horses. Ask them what the stable looks like with
two weeks of neglect....then again, maybe you shouldn't ask them!
