As usual I enjoy James Roger's diary more than Kaula's. Looks like Kaula had more time to write on superficial stuff because he doesn't have to provide for his own survival. Does 'fixed up the place for cows' mean cleaning the barn and putting shavings down for the cows? At that time there were approximately 300 cows in the whole town of New Ipswich. My grandfather has 9. My neighbor has 1000 cows! Cleaning the barn is not a 1 man chore in the latter case.
