April 1 Thursday, 1943

ToDay is the Birthday of Fuller Hammond 8.00*

Several kinds of weather today.

Cleaned up rubbish all day.

Thelma and Eleanor went out tonight.

Percy stopped in to see me for a few minutes.

Saw one of last year’s friends in the flower garden, a nearby black toad.

Saw a pigeon hawk.

Percy brought in Geo. Finney’s diploma from Aero Mechanics School in the army. He said Geo has his Corp. stripes.

The radishes in my cold frame are up.

* Jesse also uses this birthday line to keep track of money owed and spent. This might not actually be Fuller Hammond’s birthday.

    1. I had the same thought! I think, though, that by “rubbish” he means leaves, sticks, brush – all the stuff left over from winter damage. And I think there was just a lot more ground to cover with all the land he was responsible for.
