Rooted around in attic & basement for glass to make a propagating box – the only thing I know to do with some of those plants. Wally cut the glass for me after work.
Cold today. Was 13 at 10 o’clock and 8 at noon. First cold spell of the year & coldest of winter. Light snow. Baked pies in afternoon. Had light supper as Wlly went to J.C. Banquet minus his boss – “Bosses Banquet”. Was all day getting clothes down from basement so could pot the cactus.
Ray came about 8 – Flo & Sandy had decided to go to movies & Kathy was so disappointed. She had been bathed & dressed ready to play. We got things pretty well started before he went after them at 9. Wally home about 9:45. We potted about 70 plants & put rest in prop box. Ray generously brought some of his hoarded loam & moulders sand. He called after they got home saying he had just learned Wally was having poker gang here tomorrow night & inviting me out there. To bed about 12 – 4 degrees was 2 during night.
