Ah... shade... I'm sitting under a tree and having a bit of rest. It's so much work in Nova Scotia!!! I suppose it;s not as bad as it was when we first came here, we had to get a land grant, clear it (that was really difficult), plant crops, and we had to build our home. Plus, winter really was harsh. The female high up past away in winter, and now it's just me and my old man. The problem with this is that I have to do pretty much all the work (Hmm... I should hurry up and get married so that my life is easier...). The problem now is that during the winter our house got messed, and I have 2 reconstruct it because my old man's sick. Fortunately, the British army has been supporting us with food, tools, and clothing. But I have a feeling that this isn't going to last very long... I'm really glad I have my friend with me though. I met him two days ago. I noticed that he was crossing my land, and stealing my crops. So I caught him, and he told me that the winter had killed all his folks, and that he needed something to eat. So I told him that if he wanted something to eat, he'd have to work. So now he's helping me with my work. His name's John, and he's a black loyalist. I'm gonna ask my old man tomorrow if he can stay with us.
