geraniums, bird-of-paradise azaelias, ferns, &
a lot of that I couldn't identify. He's even built
redwood boxes for some of them. The place
looks like a botanical garden. Why don't you &
Daddy get together over some rose-bushes again?
I know where you can get some free pigeon guano.

An awful thing happened yesterday. I went
shopping. I needed some hose, but a dress, sweater,
& a couple of t-shirts grabbed me & I had to
buy them in order to get out of there. The dress
was just a little $8.95 job out of the jr. miss section.
It's kind of dressey & the color, sort of an
apple green, is terrific. The sweater is a white
oiler coat-sweater which I kind of needed to
wear over cotton dresses where a cardigan
isn't enough & a coat is too much. So much for
the extravagence dept.

In the economy dept., I have patched all the
holes in my levi's, & barring disintegration,
I should be able to get along on 3 pair for a
little while longer. Nothing can take their
place for being wearable. Don't have time
to sew anymore stuff, but am planning on having
a ball this summer.

The great grind is really on now. If I live thru
this quarter, I may last forever, & if I graduate,
it may revolutionize the whole peninsula.
The strain may break it off & sink it into
the sea like Altantis. I am now running on
atomic energy & linear acceleration, you know.
Much cheaper than B12 & codene.
