"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Tuesday, March 8th.

It began raining during the night and was at it a good deal
of the time to-day. John and I hauled up two barrels of sap,
then Father and he went over to Rob't. Foster's and got a lot of
plank with which when they got back we made a shed. They
then hauled up some wood by which time it was noon. After
dinner I did'n't go up till four o'clock and then did'n't stay long.
Father and John got in the rest of the sap. The total amount of
sap is I believe about four barrels and a half, so far. John went
back home about four o'clock, and Pap went and filled up after
supper. Mother and Alvin cleansed the cloths etc. once more.
Felt rather better than yesterday
