It has been raining today. There was a slight chill in
the air. Winter will be here soon.
The root cellar is done.
We hope we have done it correctly and that our
vegetables last through winter.
Some of the men are leaving in a few days.
They are going on a run to get some things we
will need as it gets colder.
We set out what we could under the gutters
to collect rainwater. We might have running water
now. But, we know that may not always be
the case.
Robert caught a fox trying to get to the chickens
this morning. We will have to do something about
that.
I have been typing little stories for the kids on
my typewriter. I still don’t know who gave it to me.
I’m a reporter. I’ll find out.
The rain is still here. Coming and going in slow,
soft, mists.
