To day the boys are at work in the little field in front of the house planting it in peas. Hicks assisted me in the mill. we ground 5½ bushels of wheat & 3 bushels of corn. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and carried Toby [Horace Oscar Hall] home. Roberta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] came up and remained all night. Weather changeable and warm. Ther: 84°.
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.
