April 19 – Friday –

A very warm muggy day –
A day of interruption over a number of trifling but necessary details relating to the exhibitions –
The truckers came for the pictures about 11:00 am.
In studio some but not much accomplished –
Spaded up some ground at the north end of the wild flower garden prepatory to transplanting the wild geraniums and trilliums under the pine trees –
After lunch we went to Buffalo for a little shopping – a little rain falling –
To AM&A’s where Bertha bought a little hat (very charming on her) some ear-rings etc. –
Had tea and toast at the snack bar –
(First to the Framers to take two 1918 s.c. w.c.’s that somehow had been skipped-)
Then home; by now the rain had set in, in earnest, almost a cloud burst almost all the way home visibility very poor; some lightening – which continued up to 6:00.
Evening music Hayden’s, “Lark” quartet, his “surprise” symphony, and finally a Dvorak quartet (Opus 51)
