  • 1792: December 20, 1792 – Dark & wet.  Shower, a short, but violent gust.  Lightening.
  • 1791: December 20, 1791 – Saw lately a white, & a yellow wagtail about the well-head rivulet.  No farther north than Rutland wagtails, withdraw, & are never seen in the winter.
  • 1788: December 20, 1788 – The frost has lasted now five weeks.
  • 1785: December 20, 1785 – Dug up carrots, second crop.
  • 1784: December 20, 1784 – My laurel-hedge is scorched, & looks very brown!
  • 1777: December 20, 1777 – Finished plowing-up the Ewel-close, a wheat-stubble, to prepare it for barley, & grass-seeds it must be plowed thrice.  The ground is pretty dry, but tough & heavy, requiring naturally much meliorating.  This week Wolmer-pond was fished; & out of it was taken, an eye-witness tells me, a pike that weighed 30 pounds.
  • 1768: December 20, 1768 – Rain & wind all night.  Toad appears crawling.
