Blanche confided to me that she's in love. She's reluctant to tell Mama and Daddy, but she wants to get married. She, Ethel and I run the dairy almost by ourselves. Mack is old enough and knows how to milk, but he does a lot of other work, feeding the hogs and cutting wood and lots of work for a boy barely in his teens. The little boys are only old enough to do things like bring in stovewood and feed chickens along with Fannie Jane. They all shell corn, taking turns at the cornsheller and fill buckets of nubbins for the cows to eat.
