98th day- 267 days follow

(Henry Ford died)

Fair + cool

Fred Moon and the carpenters are on the hill today.

Dug up the rose garden and built a new sand pit for rooting stuff.

Hurt my leg again today.  I have been lame now for about a week.  I have a sprained knee.  I stepped into a hole and fell down hill with my leg held fast in a skunk hole and I think I stretched the ligaments and cords of my left leg at the knee. It is a torture to walk down hill, and sometimes the joint seems to bend the wrong way. It did yesterday when I was wheeling sand, and it hurt so I just laid on the ground and sweat.
