Hard Frost. Killed dahlia flowers & foliage that I had covered. Findished canning peaches – got 17 qts & had all we could eat. Day turned warm & was hard to stay in the house. Brought tuberous begonias in, some to continue flowering – others am drying off at once. Made a “well” around north basement window to keep dirt from washing in over my corsage bench.
To Ruth’s for Wally’s birthday supper. Everything delicious. Wally went to AIB school & I took Ruth & Lewis & kids out to see Mary J. She came from hospital Monday & is better. – Still in bed of course. Home about 9. Ray called.
Wrote to Eamon Ryan. Sent pictures of me – Wally & kids & BRay & I. Some Edward S. Thomas articles & the article I wrote for the Star. Took 2 1/2 hrs.
