12 Here Eunice and Bertha took charge, over the glowing coals…bacon and egg sandwiches (gosh, were they good!) proffered tactfully first to Us Men - and don't think we didn't take 'em! Soon we were all munching and chinning and very happy. We spent nearly two hours at this cosy spot, loving the fire and its mystic disclosures, cutting up, saying wonderfully brilliant things, having a good time; a pretty interlude in our daily prosaic which every one of us will remember with pleasure. - Along about 9:30 or 10 we regained consciousness and decided that perhaps we should go home. May 23 A trip to the Bluff, 2 p m. A fine afternoon; sky full of white clouds. Took many photographs (21) - see serial list for data. - The excursion made more pleasant by meeting on the Bluff two school-teachers from Minature: Wayne A. Brubacher and his lady friend. We spent over two hours together, and upon descending to the picnic grounds they courteously shared their lunch with me. May 25 Roses in blossom. Rhus trilobata past flowering; also Leucocrinum montanum except on north slopes. Yucca buds sizable. Allium going strong (which I consider an attractively appropriate thing to say about an onion!). May 27 Eunice and I had planned a trip for this evening, but she did not show up; went to McCosh residence where she lives to inquire, at 6:30.
