A very bright beautiful day. Emma washing Edith at
school after feeding R hens. and fed them again
after school by going directly there. Turk wont eat.
which makes quite a reaction. Turk got mad because
R was trying to force him to eat when he didnt
want to eat. and when R tried to compel
him to eat, his eyes looked like a green flame
of fire, nor would he go out door but growled and
she got afraid of Turk V working in shop all
