Fair. I washed the bike's tires and pedals in morning and shined it all up. The only rusty thing about it is the bell (attached to handle). I gave Billy Brian (next door, about 15) a cage for his little squirrel.

Fair. We went to Plum Point. I met a girl there (Betty) + played with her some - she is not as old as I am. We hauled out dead sea nettles. The squirrel got out- Bobby Phelps (boy across from Carolyn - about 5) I got a fern + Indian cucumber root for pool + Wild Lily of The Valley for my fern garden. + moss for pool from Randal Cliffs on way home (near Chesapeake beach) [[image: drawing of a flower]]
