P. Cloudy. Wind S.W. Moderate.

Mother is not interested in the garden this year. Where last year she supervised me in the planting and weeding, this year I alone tend the roses, the turnips, the tomatoes, and cucumbers.

I do not mind the extra work, particularly now that school is out. It does not take much to tend this sandy garden. I am able to keep it weeded and watered. I love working in the garden. It holds me out of doors for hours with the wind and the smell of the sea and the sound of the breakers singing in my ears.

Why can it not be the same for Mother? Why can’t the sea bring her the peace it brings me?
