Wednesday November 18-1914
Clear with high X = wind -10°
The house suffered assault and battery
throught last night x off back shroob and the
combined uproar kept me oscillating between
Terror of night terrors and a vague apprehension
that the roof might lean us at any minute x The
wind is taking it's kindly an interest in our private affairs -
It is prying into every corner of our room and even
went as far as to pry under my blankets one or
twice in the night x
I must be getting thin blooded or anemia or some-
thin g that kind as I have been cold for two days x
In fact the only time I am very warm is when I am
out walking x then the blood starts and my mind comes
to shake off its vagueness until I commence to feel
normal once more x
Joe came out about noon x The men at the
house are planning a party for Thanksgiving x By that
time the sliding parties will be back from the earth and
we expect some visitors besides x
We had a very light hike this morning, the water
came almost to our front door x Joe said that
the barometer was falling rapidly x I suppose that we may
have another northerly blow upon then heavy north
winds x More snow will help our house x The snow
from the trail doesn't seem to shift our way x
