Lena went back Sunday afternoon today is a damp day for their house party they may have called it off. I bought a box of strawberries for .35 last night for my supper, Pa down to the lodge, and they were so sour I did not enjoy them much, I'll be glad when our raspberries begin to bear as I am very fond of them. Pa is talking of setting out a strawberry bed this fall, along where the logs are now, in the first part of our garden side of the cold frame. I would enjoy taking care of it as I used to have one once where the Moores early grape vine is now, but that was before your day, I think, Mr Waugh gave me the vines. The shop is not running much these days and there is not much business. times are exceedingly dull.
