A warm sunny day – most of the snow gone.
P.M. Sketch of view across Bengert’s to the S.W. The sun a pale white glow in a misty, ever-changing sky –
Everything seemed full of goodness & interest again – and my feeling about our village as it should be – i.e. – As of a north country with the December sun low in the south –
