Pleasant weather quite a bit cooler, calm and lovely. 8 A.M. Mary and Josephine are doing the kitchen tasks. I did some labor in the yard. Frank cut a water melon he grew in the yard. It was among the flowers. It was quite good tasting one. There are others in another place and larger size. Scripture read Phil 1:21, Eph 6:10-18.
Have been repotting my House plants (that were in my yard) for blooming this Winter. They have done well growing and are in fine condition. Mary and Josephine took me to Clinton at night, and left me at Rialto Theater and I saw a good Movie. Always such a crowd jammed on the Streets. The girls got me a Lunch. They had eaten before we left home. The day was spent by me in doing things that needed to be done among the flowers and plants indoors and outside. Very nice pleasant night to sleep and rest in.
Thought for today.
One ship drives east and another drives west,
With the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That tell them the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate,
As we voyage along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul
That decides its goal
And not the calm or the strife.
