Margaret Hoffman picked me up at 9 and we drove through fog to Bucyrus and up Route 19 to Green Springs where Margaret was born. Visited Mildred Rutherford in Elmwood Assisted Living.

Spent morning updating files setting up Terradise Nature Center Endowment Fund and printing them out for meeting with Telfer and Dowler at 2:30 in Resource Center. They agreed I should ask Ralph Boger to be one of the advisors for the TEF- signed my will with Richard Carey as witness gives David life is estate in Terradise. But Hap [Dowler] will check deeding it with the life estate so I could get tax credit. Then to Exec committee. Margaret Gracely has declined to move from VP to the presidency and keeps sniping at Jane who tries so hard and has brought in so much grant money.

Have FTM.6 but didn’t install it but checked files all morning. Don Kyle here at 12:30. Trimmed ewe and boxwood with electric trimmers while I weeded in bed along road by roadside. Don took screens out of gazebo and door. So much more accessible. Picked peaches off seedling tree on bank by gazebo. Then trimmed trees cutting small saplings so now I can see the river even if it doesn’t have much water in it. We drove around to the other side of river, but no pawpaws. I mowed lawn across the road for 2 hours. First time since July 2nd that I’ve mowed over there. Exhausted.
