but this time they were accompanied by two
good sized cygnets. One poor cygnet had damaged
a leg and never put it in the water but tucked
it under one wing. It swam gaily enough with
only one leg however. There were plenty of budgerigars
in the aviary - in fact they were swarming and
making enough noise for thousands of birds
the canaries looked cold and were tucking
themselves away in the moss. On a smaller pond
a wales hen and mate and family were
gaily swimming about. The cock with his
red wattle over his beak and his greenish yellow
legs was quite a dandy and endeavored
to keep the youngsters in a fitting state of humility
by giving them periodical vicious digs. Julia
was jumping about all over and posing
pretending the gardens were grounds near
her house. After dinner your mother and I
went shopping into Westboro: I scrubbed my
heel on the back of the rocking chair - made
a hole in my stocking and skinned my heel.
