My Dear Miss. Taft:-
Well I'll try and drop you a few lines tonight but am pretty tired as I have worked out doors all day. Every bone aches.
The cherries look pretty good so far I can say more in a few days. We had wonderful blossoming weather. It was very warm and dry. The petals have fallen but can't fully decide yet. The sweets are fair you know we had snow storm and frosts when they were in bloom it nearly ruined my raspberries as the leaves were so tender.
We haven't had a good rain for 2 weeks so are quite in need of it now as the ground is very dry. We would like to have some soon
Joseph had an invitation to the banquet in T. City but was spraying the sour cherries that day and couldn't get through in time so he could go.
If we have rain your new meadow will do some thing but if not it won't as the ground gets so dry and hard.
Last Fri. evening it turned cold again and had another light frost last night. Will write again before long.
As ever your's with love
Essie
