Monday May 15th 1978
Mrs. Jones here to clean until 3:30 cleaning. Miserable rainy, cool day so set up tables inside for 17 Burroughs Club members. A Yellow Warbler flew into deck window and was still stunned on deck when some arrived. Also a yellow-billed cuckoo around all day. Club took up collection for Ohio Nature Conservancy $21. I showed last tray of Philippine films. Girls took all the “Philippine Adventures” that I had ready.

Rainy and cloudy temperature 50 degrees. But warblers everywhere. Yellow, blackburnian, Myrtle, Magnolia, orange-crowned, Tennessee, blue-gray gnatcatcher, solitary Sandpiper, Scarlet Tanager, Wren, flicker, woodpecker. Went in to Marion trying to straighten out delivery mix-ups and accomplished nothing. Mary and mother out at 2- showed Arizona slides and ate at 4. Transplanted impatiens and weeded. Bill and Erma stopped by. Help me decide on kitchen flooring and paper. David called from Alameda, California at Linda’s. Loves California. Home through Crater Lake & Yellowstone.

I routed every minute all day. Mike – Sue – Dave Knapp all day and Barry Baker a.m. and again about 5.
Front room crowded all day but had plenty of plants and flowers. Took no orders for delivery today. Designers had delivery orders all done by 3 but plenty will-calls to work on. I left at 7:30 for delivery in east side of county. Drove 27 miles- 7 deliveries in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
