Pleasant Valley it is called, is the upper part Of

water to give life and just peep at the
beautiful flowers they look from under the trees makes

fowers Aren't they beautiful Then the
springs the flowers The water has the rocks
down about four feet At least that IS what we think
The springs about four feet below the level and the
banks about four feet apart and almost straight
and down. it stands to that they have been
woyn down some. I never taller trees than grow
around the springs They not very large in circum
ference but the branches thick and heavily leaved
that is almost impossible for light rain to reach the
earth very These springs interesting because
it is cool and shady there and besides the flowers
nearly everything that grows out of doors IN this climate
is found there, even bueberries ~-Ruth =. Warner,
