Dear Doris

A cloudy cool morning, but not much rain. our showers go each side of us as usual. Yesterday I was putting out seedlings & a few house plants, in tubs, the greater part of them to go out later, then tomatoes to set out, which will keep me pretty busy for another week. Pa turned on the water down cellar this morning, so that will be handy to keep them from drying up. I worked out yesterday all the forenoon so this morning I have made a custard & a rhubarb pie & guess that may tied us over for to day. The old crow goes sailing over every day George is going to shoot him if he can get the chance he thinks he has done mischief enough for one bird.
