In our walk we saw much to admire
in the natural beauties of the place; The
vegetable garden was in excellent order
the seeds came up remarkably well. The
raspberries were trimmed and tied to their
wire. The flower garden was partly in
order; the many rains and the early month
having prevented much work from being
done in it. Double narcessus was in bloom
and much admired.

Adjourned to meet next at
Riverton the home of our new member
