to clear this lot opposite us, I went in there this morning & that locus bush is spreading all over the lot, you would be astonished to see the stuff.  he will have a job on his hands now to uproot it, who ever attempts it. we are all anxious to see it begun.

I dont wonder the baby was afraid of the turtle it gave her the night mare, the same as the beetle bug did you. poor little thing. Our little robin in the cordelia is now sitting on her nest & the cat birds are growing. they are all feathered out, so George says. I chase the old cats away every day. they know when the young birds are easy to catch, & the robins give their cry every time they get sight of the darn cats, so I start out & always find them & scare them away. George says when Sparkie was here, there wasn't a cat in the neighborhood. apparantly, he wishes he was here now to frighten them away. Mrs Dightman has a two months old little fox terrier, Louie brought home. We never want another dog or cat Pa says. Jack is enough for us, he always comes over to see us as soon as he gets loose; well this is all
