Am having just a swell time sitting in the house listening to the wind blowing things to pieces generally. It rained steady after came until late last night, and today the wind would almost knock you over. It was in these bushes that my embroidery dress met its fate. Wish it would clear up so I can get out again & get some cherries. Have not been out home yet but will go tonight if they come in for me. My cousin is sick with the La Grippe and has not been able to get around today. Write soon & give me all the news. B. P.
