Pottering

(1986 September 19)

This herb ad caught my eye as I paged thru a new catalog which came in the mail this morning; and it made me wonder whether it would pay you to pot up a few herbs before the frost came and sell them at a grocer's. Perhaps the pots could be paper cups to save expense.

Bird pudding

(1986 December)

[Recipe:] Bird pudding in 2 coconut shells. 1/2# lard. Bacon rind and scraps + wild bird seed & nuts. Toast. Scraps - fine chopped. Melt until like soup. Pack down hard in shells. Put wire in holes. Suspend in tree.

Felt

(1986 ?Fall)

Sherry, did I give you my assortment of felt? It would be good to put in the bottom of a good box for Sally's butterfly collection. Glued to bottom.

Nap

(1986 August 26)

I fell asleep during sermon! [marginal note with no context]

Out of focus

(1986 August 26)

I can't see TV very well with these glasses and have not yet heard new ones here. So to bed at 7 to read and listen to radio.

Bluejay

(1986 August 26)

I noticed the flag was up on my mailbox and went out to investigate. Saw a pretty plastic bluejay some kid yanked off of someplace and put in my box. After the rain I'll try to rig it up so passersby can see it. And owner take it.

Lemonade

(1986 May 13)

The Burnetts came Saturday.... Coming back [from lunch] I had the boys each take a lemon and make lemonade - their first experience (always in a MIX).
