the celebration quite a bit I think, but it will be postponed till a day later, no danger of fires. but after six it cleared off in time for the fireworks in the evening. most every body gone in the neighborhood, so the day seemed terrible long to us.  up before six this morning. it seems nice this morning after the rain of yesterday. there are lots of little green grapes on our vines. black berries are going to be plenty, but are green + have not got their growth yet. berries are getting ripe. I pick them every day for a saucer pie. Pa dont care for berries, custards + cream pie he is gone on + dont care for meat. he liked the salmon as we had not had any for a long time + was a rarity for us both. Ralph + Maude drove up they had fun down to the shore. his family + Laurence White + wife they brought me some clams & flowers.  Ralph had been out fishing in the boat + they were both very tired + sleepy not having had good sleep the night before. too noisy. Ma. hope you are all right.
