Weather is bright and cold, the
ground frozen hard. It is making water scarce and we need lots more moisture
but we do enjoy the bright days, for we had so much fog and frost and gloom for
a while. – Ina, 1935
“Let’s see -- the
Christmas of ’35,” says Ina to herself. “Yes, Vance had sent holly and candles
– such a treat and beautiful on the mantel! Such a pretty red! And I was
careful not to burn them too long at one time in order to keep them as long as
possible. Vance has such a wonderful imagination and does the nicest things!
“We were as well
as usual that winter. We slept long and ate heartily.” KW
I could easily sleep long on these dark days.
