FOREVER 143 Tuesday September 10 - 1924 We took advantage of the good weather & worked on the hills. In the afternoon a sudden wind stopped all such work for here fingers now became numb in their full pages. Wednesday Sept. 11 - '24 Jerome planned today with the batteries. Just got breakfast I shot into a flock of young ducks & thought I wounded one. We took the fletch & went in pursuit. We got none and had a long hard full back to the house in the teeth of a heavy stormy wind. Jerome worked on the batteries this afternoon. Thursday September 17 - '24 Jerome worked on the batteries all day finally getting them all into the lichen built along the south wall of our living room. I worked on the rock wall behind the house. It is possible that if this wall be made high enough and to extend far enough beyond the frame of the house a snow drift may form along our north wall to protect us on the side.
