IN THE SPRING
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I'm going
to tell you about the spring season in
southwestern Alabama, if you will listen.
No poet could give as pretty a description
as the atural beauty of things here. I'm
not good on describing things, as you will
see but please don't get restless if you
can help it. The gardens are beautiful
here with young beans, cabbage, eollards,
strawberry patch is the prettiest. The
green leaves of the strawberry bush give
a pleasing color to the eye, but the little
white flowers set off with the red and
green berries are just as beautiful as I've
ever seen anything. There is nothing so
tempting, in my estimation, as the fruit
bearing strawberry patch. The fruit or
chards are green with young leaves, but the

apples have not shielded their blooms that
much. The birds are singing and darting
to and fro through the apple branches.

that entwines our front porch This vine
is a wistera and is perfect, lovely, shade
tree" through the summer. The sun-kiss-

ALL Aunt, / hope you have space for
this, but you said that you just reached in
the letter box and printed the one who's
fate 1t was to be drawn out, so I'll just
remember the motto: ''If at first you do
not succeed, try, try again" Your niece
