A lovely calm cool Sunny morning, pleasant. Wish my head and heart didn't hurt. Then I would be working in Yard among the flowers. It is delightfully cool and it would be enjoyable to labor out there. Now is the time to arrange for Fall flowers. My Yard is a mass of Blooming Beauties. Perhaps in a day or two my strength will return so the work can be done. The Zinnias are beautiful in their colors, so tender and crisp. Am saving lots of seed to plant all over the Yard. The Marigolds are still doing well blooming. Have many kinds of them, small, medium and large sizes. The Yellow Cosmos are in full bloom. And Red Scarlet O'Hara Vines are loaded with blossoms. Four o'clocks, Vincas and Moss are blooming abundantly.
The girls bought Plums, Peaches, Bananas and Grapes. Have Wild Red Plums to Jell as soon as I am able to work at it. Josephine is going to make Hot Rolls for dinner. Scripture John 14:15-31.
Fanny and Richard were here for dinner making 7 of us. Rufus Dovel left for Gip about 2 P.M. I made some Preserves of large Red Plums, tame ones. At night the girls, Mary and Josephine, took me for a Drive to Clinton. I was hot from making Preserves and would cool off so pleasantly in the Lovely Moonlight. Have most of my house plants moved back in the house for Winter blooming. Received a Letter from Jack.
