To day the boys are still at work plowing in the bottom field. Hicks is still at work on the hen house. I sent over for Mr. Keen who came and examined a sow & some shoats. The sow is in my mark but strange to say the shoats are in the mark of J.H. Leaverton. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] & children drove down to Mothers [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and spent the day there. I ground 5 bushels of corn. Weather clear and pleasant.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
