sunny now and the wind is blowing from the west. Yesterday was very warm as it had been for a long long time. This morning Mr. Calman brought over the first corn and cucumbers that he raised. Our own vegetables are growing nicely, there are a lot of sweet potato vines and several kinds of corn and beans and melons. The peaches near the house are getting ripe and there are some good apples. The little wrens went away long ago but yesterday mama found a nest of Chrysomitris birdies in the nearest peach tree down the bank, but they had flown away this morning.Aunt Margaret is about as well as usual, we went over there to see her and May yesterday. Uncle David was here the other day.Mrs. Raap has been very sick in bed. and Mrs. Downer is still very sick.Monday I took my fourth violin lesson and I played the scale all right.
