Mowed the leaves on the upper lawn. Worked on Huber committee bylaws adapting them from MCHS which need revising badly.
Mary H. and Jordans came to go to Al’s in Cardington and I drove. Stopped at Beulah White’s on way home and picked up hand sewen and woven rag carpet. All of us coughed terribly all the way home. Beulah and Mandy had been here a.m. and brought a photo album- red plush that she bought in Caledonia in the ’60s for MCHS. Didn’t know whose it was.

Wrote to Charlie King, head of Ohio Biological Survey about Bob’s [Bob Harter] idea of listing prairie indicator species within the genus in descending order of use in determining that it is a prairie. Also alerted to him to the Route 739 prairie*.

[*Trella later purchased this railroad right of way and donated it to the Marion County Historical Society]

Cut black-eyed Susans, thin coneflower and New England Aster and hauled across road and scattered them for 1989 blooming I hope.
Met Bob and Sue Harter at 1:30 at [St. Rt.] 739 and old Erie Railroad track where I spotted a prairie remnant several
years ago. Survey turned up 15 prairie species- Stiff Goldenrod every place and poison ivy. Sue and I cut grapevine and made wreaths as we went. Also walked railroad right-of-way behind Carter lumber. dinner with Mary at Bob evans. Traded letters from Kathi and Kristi. Started raining about 8:30.

Royce here and we washed windows inside and out and put up storm windows. Martha Neville brought Achimia and Lamb’s Ear. In at 5:15 to pick up MCHS newsletter. Norm and Donna Ruth Fogt helped with labels- the database didn’t spew them all out by using zip codes- a mess. Then we went to McDonald’s for Big Macs using their coupons. Shopped at Walden’s and got a new WordStar book.
