It's garden time in the spring too.
and about the time am deep in
transplanting the plants a neighbor
gave me, a mosquito comes along. My
hands are all dirt, so / shake my head
when he lights on the back of my neck.
He flies away, then is right back
again. I shake my head again, and
again-and again. Finally in exaspera-
ton slap at him, getting dirt down
my neck. About this time he has called

where colored men in the air

restaurants and hotels and
white soldiers threatened to
boycott if they were treated
otherwise. He cited this as
true, too, in Mansion and
