Howard with me to back of acres to get five buckets woods dirt for beds along patio. Planted seed snaps, alyssum, marigold, cosmos, annual phlox.
Olive Ashworth brought Edith Keeler (age 90) out and I drove Olives car down in woods so Edith could see things and got it stuck. Took my car down to rescue Edith and Olive and drove it back to Marion. Missed post office committee meeting at 4:00. Went down to find Karl Nickle and was using his backhoe to get me some topsoil and he had it stuck by river! Another man got it out for him. Karl brought me a load of dirt, went down in woods pulled Olive’s car out of mud and I drove it up, cleaned it and took it into her after I went to auction of Murphy’s house at 6:30. One bid of $27,200 not acceptable to Farm Credit so not sold.
