[4]and you know how much work that brings along with it, but it is pretty well along now and I think will be very comfortable when finished. I have been doing rather more then my usual amount of digging making and planting this spring, my tree's and bushes are growing finely and I think repay for all the trouble, my health is rather poor but I manage to be around and help along a little. I keep a girl to do my work and go out of doors a good deal. Maggie has been out here twice lately she still keeps her little poney & buggy and rides out nearly every day I think it does her a great deal of good. Joanna is at home this summer Mother's health is pretty good.
