Stoughton Nov 3rd 1929

Dear Doris
We are having a rainy day after yesterdays summerish one. I presume that now when it does clear it will come cold & blustering, a sudden change in the program. The trees are pretty bare all but the oaks & a good part of them went in the weeks blow. it does seem good to look out & see my neighbors houses & their lights in the evening are sort of company, when one stays at home as I do. I have made up into sauce & pickle everything in sight & are pretty well prepared for winter now. I made a lot of mustard pickle instead of picklelilly [[piccalilli]] which we like much better & is more healthful not so spicy. I wrote a long letter to Lena Friday so she wont expect to have us come out there Thanksgiving. she seems crazy to have us come out to Stoneham by hook or crook, but when she gets Pa started she can whistle he dont like to go away from home much & thats a fact. she will come here I think for the day, as usual, for I told her we always expected her & to come as usual. Little enjoyment there is in the day where the families are so separated, but to have somebody around is much better than nothing. We shall have a chicken probably, meat is terrible high
