enough grub to feed them. I was {words obscured} to bring two pies. I told Marj. when I got home & she nearly woke up she was so mad at me for saying I would. I told them I would bring the pies but to heck with bringing the family. The wind which was north east this morning shifted to almost due south and it has been getting milder all day, but has been cloudy. When I started for town to-night the walking was good and it was quite bright moon-light but it started to snow soon afterwards and developed into a nasty storm of snow & rain so that the walking was quite bad coming home through the long grass, but it was bright moon-light and I had on my rubbers and socks so didn't get very wet. On my way over, as I got down towards the far end of Dad's back wheat stubble I heard a rustling in the grass and looking down saw the broad white strip of skunk's back. I side-stepped with alacrity and he went the other way so that fortunately there were no unpleasant results.

Tuesday December 1st

I spent nearly the whole day except for doing chores in softening putty and puttying up the storm windows and have part of one to do yet. I had to put a whole new pane in one of the windows. Ina was here washing and she washed the two windows that I got finished and I put them on to-night. I drove her home after tea. Cloudy milder
