I have had a mess off the raspberries everyday for a fortnight, now Lena had some while she was here, and she picked the last saucer full of strawberries and had those for her breakfast the last morning she was here, we are going to get one more picking of the raspberries and that will be all I think. They have done well dont you think? 

Gertrude Lorings family have gone away to stay over the week end, and brought over her parrot for me to care for, while she was gone, I took his cage out and hung it up on our front portico and while I run over to Rings a minute, I heard him screeching and Mrs R followed over to see him. pretty soon Mrs Griffin and Griffin came and we had the whole neighborhood of boys here also, we had a pretty lively time with him, he talked to Mrs Griffin a great mess and and she said "its a darn lie" and he said "a darn lie" right after her, they kept him a going it, untill nine o'clock then I took him in and Pa came home with an icecream so that ended it, a pretty green prott [[parrot]]  and talks a lot in Spanish, sent up from Panama.
