town I ran across Harry Moon trying to put in a block of the pavement over his tile drain so I helped him till dark, then I met Bab. going up to Ben Ivey's with a telephone message so went up with her and then went down to Aunty's for awhile. It has been a miserable day. Cold, cloudy and drizzly also windy

It has been a rotten day. Cold windy and drizzling rain most of the time. We puttered around all morning. Frank started to clean out the shop and I took some eggs over to Jack Martin and he paid me Dad. has been digging ditches all day and feels about as blue as a sick fish over the weather. Right after dinner Frank and I made another cement post and then I went down to Miss Martin's to get my hollyhocks, she gave a baket full of stuff, besides hollyhocks were asters, snapdragons, nicotina and a few seedling dahlias. I set most of them out when I got home I stopped in at Aunty's for a few minutes on my way home. Although there were a few fishers went down the road to-day according to the annual custom, they were very few and the old creek was not bristling with fish poles from Art. Ryerse's to Coleman's point as it would have been if it had been a sunny day as it generally is. Hollie's ad. in the "Maple Leaf" is changed again. It is now "Wanted - Boys under 81 to make themselves generally useless about the fish house"
