Rain and cooler

Had a good night’s sleep last night, the only one this week., so felt pretty good all day. Walked around in the house all I could so as to keep on my feet and exercise but it did no good. Gilbert and I took a walk after we got the boys to bed. The air felt good as this house is too hot with a fire but too cool and damp without one.

(I can’t imagine heating a house with a coke furnace which is either burning or not. I am sure it was difficult to regulate the temperature in the house, especially in the fall when one day could be dreary and cold, nearly freezing, and then a few days later it could be sunny and warm.

Still no baby!)

  1. Getting closer. Heating with coal is not the way to go, and it's extremely dirty. No wonder people in that day and age were so busy. You had to keep after it (dirt) or you would be overwhelmed

  2. Sounds like the baby dropped and she can breathe a little? I once walked around 3-weeks-overdue, so my sympathies are with Ruth right now!
