In the morning Papa and
I bound the oats in the
feild in the afternoon
I put a bin in the cellar
for the seed potatoes
out of the garden, then
I went to wilfreds
for some yeast for mamma

Left the office early to make a post office run, to overnight the mortgage payment. Then out again to pick up tax forms from the accountant, scurry home to get them all signed and packaged and back to the postoffice just in the nick of time to get them postmarked today. My frenzied mood reflected back to me by the boys. The house felt like a tiger's den tonight.
