"Plenty of moisture also many pretty days of sunshine. Our first frozen ground was yesterday morning. Then not enough to injure celery tops. I have plenty of celery buried in the row where it will keep well after the first of the year. The hearts are crispy, bleached, and much better than that lot on the market.
Little Mary Ellen is a frequent visitor and E and I enjoy the bright cheerful little tot. The dogs run against her or lick her face, especially big old Rowdy. She is half scared or rather just not certain of their intention. To hear her say "No, no Nody!" in a little plaintiff voice is a treat She is much interested in the contents of the window seat and will play in it as long as any one will allow, reaching her hand in and saying "dit, dit" and pulling out one of the many things in there. She has been walking for two weeks and is quite lively about it. Today she was putting a pencil in a spool of thread after I had done it for her. She finally accomplished it after several minutes of patient trying. When she had exhausted herself after many trials with the pencil and lay back on the floor to rest, she was soon up for more efforts.
I have fished none this fall. The farm interest is taking my time."
