Made corrections fo TNP brochure & David color printed & folded 100 copies.
Gave him 3 checks ($2,000 each) for TerraPro – advertising & interim pay.
Up at 8 & bfst – Misting rain – David & I drove through new housing development & steep hill west of Coffey Street – $400,000 house now $250,000 & no buyers. Passed many landscape contractors companies in Newtown.
At Cincinnati Nature Center for over 2 hours – Daffs gorgeous sweeps on hills. Christmas & Lenten Roses blooming. At Vistor’s Center chatted with head naturalist Creasy & told him of seeing pileated woodpecker on guard rail with Little Miami River down hill behind him. At feeder saw a pine siskin – my usualls and 2 prs of wood duck feeding on the ground. Gift shop they gave us Lob’s Woods by Elizabeth Lawrence & we read a story of two gardens in library. Can’t find my copy – David joined as member & I bought a $10 chance on a Kayak.
Big slowdown on I-71 – So I was from 2:00 until 5:20 to get to Carpenters for supper that Jim had invited me to. Prepared just for me by Eileen (his mother) & Jim. Ham, sweet potatoes, scalloped corn, apple sauce, baked beans, dressing, rolls, lime jello & lemonade. Sent the leftovers home with me. Home by 7:30.
