Wednesday, September 1:
Preparations for winter! It is cold and wet, Richard is well, has no special plans.
A walk when the sky clears a little; the children with us in the evening, they amuse themselves the whole time very cheerfully and well.

Overview
With cold, wet weather announcing the approach of winter, the day is given over to practical preparations and a quiet walk when the sky briefly lifts. The children spend the evening with them and fill the house with easy, sustained cheer.
