Dear Folks,
Another nice cool but sunny day. not too cold to be outside in the sun. Lena is crazy to get the leaves all away from the backyard. I did it last year its an awful job she wont give up 'till its finished. I have poked the bonfire all I want to, so came in to make my tea and ate a slice of bread and butter + drank my tea. she will come in when her task is over + not before. the paper says rain for tomorrow, so I scooped up the ashes from our former bonfire + spread it on the flower beds. The radio says it makes the best fertilizer for lawns + flowers as it gives to the soil what you cannot get in any other way. it costs nothing and it is easy to do. I wish it was so it were possible to do as I once could but it is not my leg wont stand for it. give up and be resigned to my fat., lucky to have someone
