November 25

  • 1791: November 25, 1791 – Well rises very fast.
  • 1785: November 25, 1785 – Mosses begin to grow, & look vivid; & will begin to blow in a few weeks.
  • 1781: November 25, 1781 – Fog, wh. frost.  As the fog cleared away, the warm sun occasioned a prodigious reek, or steam to arise from the thatched roofs.  in the evening picturesque partial fogs come rolling-in up the Lithe from the forest.
  • 1779: November 25, 1779 – Mrs Snooke’s old tortoise retired under the ground.
  • 1777: November 25, 1777 – Men stack their turneps, a new fashion that prevails all at once; & sow the ground with wheat.  They dung the fields in summer as for wheat.
  • 1775: November 25, 1775 – Many phalanae appear.  Strange that these nocturnal lepidoptera should be so alert, at a season when no day papilios appear, but have long been laid-up for the winter.  Trees will not subsist in sharp currents of air: thus after I had opened a vista in the hedge at the E. corner of Baker’s hill, no tree that I could plant would grow in that corner: & since  I have opened a view from the bottom of the same field into the mead, the ash that grew in the hedge, & now stands naked on the bastion, is dying by inches, & losing all it’s boughs.  Phalaene appear about hedges in the night time the winter thro’.
  • 1773: November 25, 1773 – Considerable snow on the ground.
  • 1772: November 24, 1772 – Nasturtiums nipped but still in bloom.
  • 1770: November 25, 1770 – Linnets flock in prodigious numbers.
