Friday, March 25th.

It did not freeze last night. To-day was cloudy and
threatening with little spurts of hail, rain, snow, and sleet, very
little most of them were. I spent two hours in the sugar-camp
with Wat, the rest of the time in the house or doing little
chores around it. Father was occupied during most of the fore­
noon in hauling in the last of the fodder. (twenty-two shocks).
Alvin helped him. After dinner Father divided his time about
equally between the sugar-camp, and Foster and Hand. Alvin
has been occupied part of these two days in fixing the kitchen
windows in rolling order. Fanny Sloan was here with a girl
unknown to us, to beg for soap-grease but she got none. Wat
stirred off before night and quit. I had another attack of tooth
and face ache after supper.
