A very bad day. It has rained nearly all day. The trees are covered in ice and lots of limbs has broke off. The weeping willow at the spring fell over this evening. The men could not work out at anything. Ben mended up some chairs. Jim mended his shoes this evening. He is very much complaining tonight. I am uneasy that he is going to be sick. I am uneasy a bout them all. The weather is so bad. I do hope that God will keep them well and able to stand up under it.
