He will make friends wherever he goes. December 3--There has been nothing worth setting down. Have had a longspell of grey, cloudy days, which just suited felling trees andunderbrushing. Have got our patch of wheat well fenced in, not to keepcattle out, there are none near us, but to help to keep a covering ofsnow on the wheat. Bobbie trapped a coon that haunted the barn and itmade fine eating. He says the pelt will make a neck-wrap for his mother. Dec. 7--Went to get the steer I had bargained ...for. The farmer suggestedinstead of butchering the beast and hauling the carcase it would beeasier to drive it on foot and kill it at home, which I did. Dec. 8--Killed the steer, which dressed well. Auld and Brodie took awaytheir portions to salt down, but Ailie followed Mrs Bambray's advice. After the pieces are hard frozen she will pack them in snow. Dec. 10--Began to snow gently yesterday and continues. There are nowabout six inches. Dec. 11--Bitterly cold; never felt the like. What Burns calls cranreuchcauld gets into the bones, but this frost seems to squeeze body andbones, pinching and biting the exposed skin.
