0099

No Mass at St. William's since it's not a day of obligation this year. As I pray Lauds, the clear and mild dawn promises more fine weather, but by the time I have the first load of laundry washed and ready to hang, the breeze is picking up, and it's turning colder. The clothes dry quickly in the stiff breeze, and soon small branches are coming down here & there. I haul the big pieces of wood out from where I'd cut them Friday, and split & stack them in the shed.

After Vespers, I bake six pumpkin pies from the big pumpkin cooked yesterday. While they're baking, I cut into the southeast bedroom wall upstairs, to begin insulating. By bedtime, the wind is still blowing fiercely, and it's beginning to precipitate (snow? sleet?) a little.
