on purpose for me, was a dark red ruygelia [[regalia]] it is going to blossom. I told her I hadn't one. my pink one out back of the house is just a little of it alive, every year it grows less. so I have three of them with that white one.

My neighbor is working out in her back yard this afternoon. she likes to dig & mow her lawn but she has a boy to come most always to do the front lawn. the clover is coming in good they wet it down every night & it grows fast. She says the Drakes are going away to the shore next week, after the schools close they are to have a big wedding there, Gertrude's oldest girl is to be married, they were going to have it here, but decided to have it away I don't know where they go. I guess want of money decided the thing for them, truth to tell.

Gregory has not shown up again to finish taking of the rest off my out side windows. he has been busy I told him no hurry. he plays in the band just forming V.F.W the trombone, he likes it, but says it does'nt sound very well & hard work while marching. Talbot said their uniforms were hideous but they had hard work raising the money to get them & had to take what they could get I suppose. Talbot is a terrible critic. He was telling yesterday about kicking his stepmother with a pair of cowhide boots. I guess he could do such things all right, he was 10 years old. Ma
