Sunday, October 25-1914
We were awakened this morning by a—
Comodineuch who had come out to some of his
dig one at chook on the bend. Farmer turned out
and built the fire which was soon followed by
the delicious odor of coffee... I crawled out into a
glorious, clear day (the rather acceptable since there
was almost no wind).
About eleven o'clock we put on our clothes
and started in for the house. Jerome rode with the
homoth and I enjoyed the walk.
Nearly everyone was away walking which was
the practice last winter. I cleaned up as usual
and dressed up to enjoy the photograph and a good
dinner. We had rabbit stuffed and roasted. My bit
tasted good!
JOT has made two fine homoths, they are
a cross between the Perry and the Equino type. I
believe that he is going to make one for me and
one for Eth later on.
Joe has rigged up an igloo (Buddle's) and
sleeps out there. He gave Jerome and our two
dames and a piece of centre meat which we
brought out with us.
We were loaded down as usual. I had a
number of new books and the meat; Jerome brought a
cake and some The Stamp. He was sick tonight after having eaten
such a big dinner.
