"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Saturday November 6th.

The rains descended last night and to-day till ten o'clock without interruption. At ten it began to snow and
kept at it unceasingly till dark. In-door life was the order of the day Alvin spent the day agreeably to himself
in the shop working at his saw-mill. Father did nothing in particular nor did I except to write a letter
to Grandmother.   

Teaching notes: It looks like the weather prevented the usual Saturday trip to town. Have the students
imagine spending a day indoors without electricty--ie., no TV nor radio nor computer. How would they survive!!
