At two o’clock in the shortest days the shades of my kitchen & hall-chimnies fall just on the middle of the window of J. Carpenter’s workshop; & the shade of the chimney of my great parlor just in the midst of John Hall’s side-front. Hard frost all day. Covered the artichokes, & young asparagus with litter.
