Did another very big wash. Clothes dried good. Picked dandelions. Got the separator cleaned up, after several months of not using it. Betty down town and got the car.

Raw cold East wind. I went down and helped Fern in forenoon. Came home. Worked up in top of the barn. Picked some greens for supper. Betty and Bonnie went to Portland. She got me a beautiful wristwatch for Mother’s Day. I like it very much. I ironed after supper.
