30° Monday Morning

Stoughton December 10th 1944

Dear Doris

Clear but cold the day is sunny so I have taken advantage of it and done my washing it was hung on the porch so if it does not dry the clothes wont whip. We have lots of windy weather which makes cold days but the sun is what warms us. We have just had our dinner of veal cutlets & canned peas & potatoes and for desert baked grapenut Pudding with lemon grated in to flavor it & cream to eat on it, which tasted very fine. she gets home from church & we have dinner a little later, so it makes a good appetite when its ready to eat. I was up stairs to day busy making my bed after breakfast, when I heard a cutting noise out side in Petes [[Pete's]] field. on looking out the window I saw Pete cutting down the little tree over on his land which bears such good fruit for us. I was so provoked I felt like telling him to stop. then he does not realize how good a fruit tree he was destroying. it hung full last summer but guess our tree out back of the house is the same kind of an apple & it may bear more next year, it certainly is a thrifty looking one now & bears very early apples.
