Hazel Chase sent me her watercolor of a towhee by mail this morning. I was thrilled beyond words. Framed it & hung it immediately. Also sent a lovely note with it. Can’t imagine why she should be so generous. ALso had letter from Betty Dunn inviting us & Mary to Canada for the last week in July. Sounds enticing.
Ray called at noon & said he would be up tonight to get moth & see the painting. Had seen purple finches in the Heights so when Wally got home we went out. No luck on them, but found cedar waxwings twice. Then drove through Ordinance Area & got a bird list of 16.
Wally has crazy idea of moving the garage about 8 feet east.
Ray came about 7:20 – Had to bathe kids – Then we took several pictures of the polyphemus but decided not to kill it. Planned to go to Hocking Co. Sunday. Wally played poker.
