I burned my little limbs yesterday. They’re just ones that fall from my trees but before long I have a pile. It was in the middle 40’s. Helen said it was pretty windy and she was right, but I stayed out there while it burned.
Today’s Momma’s birthday. She was born in 1921. She and Dad eloped when she was 16. She only went to 8th grade. She wasn’t a very good student. She’d finished her schooling at 14. She spent her days living above Grandpa Gaddy’s garage and store. Grandma treated her sort of like hired help. Guess she saw Dad as an escape. Laura has her flower garden quilt. It’s so pretty. She said her mother “made” her sew it. She also did the house work. I asked where she could go with Dad and she said to church. I don’t think she ever regretted her choice, but her parents never forgave her. It’s sort of sad. Well, it’s the reason I’m here❤️❤️
