Fine but rather chilly. Made another 2 lb. apple jelly. Picked a few blackberries but had not time to go to the good places. Picked some more apples. There are not many large ones left now. Have put about 10-15 lb. on shelf behind a sack to keep the light out, hoping they may keep at any rate for a month or two.
Five eggs.

Generally a bad thing, when one has no time to go to the good places.
