Saturday, Oct 9, 1943. We are having nice weather no coal fire altho Richard started one a week ago. I took the hose and washed off the piazza after sweeping and clearing and it does looks so much better then also washed down the front stairs. Wish I dared do more but have to be careful of that ankle. Baked beans. Bot 1/2 dozen donuts at Joes.
Sunday, Oct. 10. Nice day but a cool wind froze last night my nastitiums I neglected to pick yesterday are all frozen and my bananna tree is spoiled too but I couldn't do anything with it in the house but felt badly as a new leaf was just ready to unfold. Didn't do much had canned lobster that Mrs. Lefoe bot and Richard swiped 65 cents for a small can. Was very fresh but I don't care so much as to pay the price. Go to Hamner tomorrow.
