rain, and verylittlesunshine. The lest three days have been fine, but the rain this morning has spilled the beans. Sun is trying to break through the clouds at pres nt, so maybe she’ll clear up once again. Hope so, for a fellow gets pretty blue when the weather is rotten.
"Oook house" has just blown so I’m going to call it a day's work. Will write Marjorie in a few days.
